Sustainability - A Global Buzzword...Part 3

This is the final post in the three-part series on sustainability. I hope you have enjoyed learning about agriculture and sustainability in Ireland as much as I have enjoyed sharing my thoughts with you. To conclude this series I want to leave you with my main takeaways from my travels in Ireland.

  • Sustainability is a global buzzword, especially in the agriculture industry.
  • Ireland and the U.S. have very different approaches to dealing with sustainability in agriculture.
  • The agriculture industry, on a global scale, believes it is crucial to demonstrate their sustainability; however, countries have different ways of doing this.
  • Farmers around the world work hard every day to be more sustainable than they have been before. 
  • Farmers care deeply for the land and animals in their care and are proud to produce food for families around the world.
  • Farmers and agriculturalists are working to be more transparent with consumers about their production practices.
Although this concludes this mini-series on sustainability, below you will find more pictures from my adventures in Ireland.









Until next time,
