Launched in 2015, the Food Wise 2025 initiative aims to grow Irish exports to €19bn by 2025. The 10-year plan was developed by a 35-person committee and has ambitions to create 230,000 new jobs in the sector as well as growing exports and value-added aspects of Irish food production. Food Wise is the follow-on from Food Harvest 2020.

Over the course of Monday 4 December, national and international experts delivered their insights into the strategy behind Food Wise 2025.

Speakers include Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed, Food Wise 2025 chair John Moloney and European Commissioner for Agriculture Phil Hogan.
