She went on to comment that the RDS Agriculture & Forestry Awards and the RDS Circular Economy Awards recognise individuals, organisations, and businesses driving economic, environmental, and social progress in Ireland - from strengthening rural communities to advancing sustainable production and consumption.
Commenting on the festival, Sarah Keating, Sustainability & Innovation Programme Manager at the RDS, said: “The finalists are perfect examples of the ‘common ground’ we are seeking to highlight. They are doing the work on the ground – showing us that the transition to a sustainable future is not just a theory, it’s a practical reality that strengthens our local communities and economies."
"This festival reflects the RDS’s commitment to creating spaces where practical ideas can be shared and collaboration fostered," she said.
"Together, we can accelerate progress and build a more resilient and sustainable future for Ireland," she added.
