Bord Bia Staffer Outlines His Path to Farm Sustainability Work in Ireland
Mick Houlihan of Bord Bia, the Irish food board, comes from a suckler beef farm in Co Kildare. The article is about the agency's role in Irish farm sustainability, but the available excerpt does not describe that role in detail.
The Irish farming news site Agriland has published a piece on the role of Bord Bia, Ireland's food board, in the sustainability of the country's farms. The available introduction focuses on the professional background of Mick Houlihan, who works at the agency.
Houlihan comes from a suckler beef farm in Co Kildare. He still helps out there when time allows, and he keeps a few cattle of his own.
After studying agricultural science at University College Dublin (UCD), he worked in the meat industry, on a large-scale dairy and beef farm, and with an engineering firm. The excerpt ends before it explains how he came to join Bord Bia.
The available text gives no further detail on how the agency is involved in farm sustainability.
