International agricultural conference to take place in Cavan
A major international agricultural conference, Nuffield International, with over 80 international agricultural experts, will take place in Cavan next year.
The chief executive of Nuffield International, Jim Geltch, is visiting Cavan this weekend to confirm arrangements for the conference. The week-long Nuffield Scholars Conference will take place over eight days between 5 and 12 March 2016 in the Cavan Crystal Hotel. It will feature experts from Ireland, UK, Australia, NZ, Canada, France and the Netherlands, as well as international scholars from Brazil, India, China and Mozambique.
Some 80 delegates will receive an international scholarship from Nuffield International so that they can attend the event.

It is expected that they will also visit Ballyhaise Agricultural College and local agricultural producers and factories.

Nuffield has been awarding scholarships for over 60 years and there are now approximately 1,400 scholars worldwide. Local farmer Alo Mohan was instrumental in securing the conference for Cavan. “This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase what Cavan has to offer in terms of conference venues as well as an opportunity for the Irish agricultural sector to develop international relationships,” he said.
