New MyAgFood.ie demo
We are redesigning our AgFood website. Visit our stand and see a demo of the new platform and take the opportunity to give us feedback. Your input will impact how we improve the online services provided by the department.
You can also take our short survey. It should take less than 10 minutes and is anonymous.
AIM Services app
The department is introducing a new digital application which allows sheep farmers to notify their farm-to-farm movements online. The safe and secure app developed by the department is named ‘AIM Services’ and when fully rolled out, will allow keepers to notify all livestock movements directly to the department without the use of paper.
The goal is to provide all livestock keepers with a digital alternative to paper in notifying all required animal movement information directly to the department.
New climate resilience tool demo
At our stand this year, there will be a team of researchers testing a new digital climate resilience tool for farmers.
The Climate Resilience Tool aims to help farmers improve their resilience, to the impacts of climate change, by providing pathways for practical activities for financial, personal and environmental resilience. Resources will guide proactive decision-making around adaptations farmers can take on their farms.
Talk to us about how together we can protect and improve water and air quality, including:
The Soil Sampling Programme - a farm level soil sampling and analysis initiative which will provide farmers and their advisors with comprehensive details about the nutrient status, carbon status and indicators of soil health on their farms.
