AgNav, the online sustainability platform for Irish farmers, won the Sustainability Initiative of the Year category at the Grocer Gold Awards in London, beating six other finalists in the sustainable products and services category.
This win marks AgNav’s second UK award this year, following earlier success in winning the sustainability award at the British Culinary Federation Awards on 11 June.
Mick Houlihan, acting director of Origin Green and sustainable quality assurance with Bord Bia, commented: "Winning both these awards is a strong endorsement from our industry peers, and helps to increase the visibility and credibility of AgNav as a leading sustainability platform. On behalf of our AgNav partners, Teagasc and ICBF, I’d like to thank the thousands of Irish farmers who are using AgNav and implementing important sustainability actions on their farms.”
Partnership
Developed through a partnership between Bord Bia, Teagasc, and the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF), AgNav is a free online tool designed specifically for Irish farmers.
It provides reliable, science-based insights to support farmers’ environmental and economic goals. Using AgNav, farmers can create customised farm sustainability action plans helping to reduce emissions, improve water quality, and enhance farmland biodiversity.
Seán Deane, UK market specialist with Bord Bia added: “While AgNav is principally a tool for farmers, it is a useful platform in my conversations with key UK retail and foodservice operators, who are placing increasing value on verifiable sustainability action at farm level. With over 16,000 farmers signed-up to AgNav, it helps us to demonstrate Ireland’s ambitions and ongoing efforts in agricultural sustainability under Origin Green in the UK and beyond.”
In awarding AgNav, the judges commented that “The demand for this couldn’t be clearer,” and cited “significant benefits that go far beyond the farmgate and all the way up the value chain.”
AgNav is available to all beef, dairy and tillage farmers through the free Teagasc Signpost advisory service.
