What a weekend at the Ballymaloe Festival of Food.
It was a pleasure to meet Darina Allen and chat about the importance of healthy, high-quality food and the role it plays in our communities and food systems.
I also enjoyed conversations with Rob Coleman, Darren Allen, , Aileen Sheehan,Sophie Bell, and Ailbhe Gerrard on a range of important topics, including food policy, food distribution, building strong relationships between producers and chefs, and supporting women in agriculture.
Events like this remind us of the value of bringing together passionate people from across the food sector to share ideas, challenge perspectives, and help shape a more sustainable future for food.
