Science Week: Secondary School Farm Walk

Science Week at Teagasc 2026 will involve a nationwide programme of science communication and public engagement activities, delivered through in-person, online and potentially hybrid formats.

The visit will provide students with an opportunity to experience a farm environment firsthand and learn about agricultural science and research.

Topics will include:

• Animal nutrition
• Soil science
• Environment
• Farm safety, education and succession
• Fertiliser management
