Introduction
Environmental Innovators is our new programme in partnership with BiOrbic for Transition Year students that presents the various challenges that our global food system faces and invites students to investigate innovative solutions.
Across the globe, human consumption of the world’s natural resources has increased in line with the demand for food. This means that the way our food gets from farm to fork must evolve to meet global sustainability objectives.
The students of today are the decision-makers of tomorrow. The Environmental Innovators programme encourages innovative thinking, problem-solving and global citizenship through sustainable food systems education.
The programme is a great foundation for those considering a career in the agri-food industry or for students considering taking Biology, Agricultural Science, Geography, Home Economics, Technology or Politics and Society at Leaving Certificate level.
