To develop a sustainable and equitable food future for all, should we be taking a deeper look at our past?
In this new limited series podcast, food journalist Janine Kennedy explores the storied past of Irish food and farming in an attempt to examine what our future might look like.
This six-part podcast series will feature Ireland’s foremost thinkers, researchers, journalists, farmers and food professionals to help answer the questions: what is Irish food; what is the future of the Irish family farm; what is our role and responsibility in feeding ourselves and the world?
Episode one: land of milk and honey
From nomadic societies focused on foraging to relatively sophisticated pre-historic dairy farms, we take a look at Ireland’s first societies, how they ate and explore why they started to settle down and farm.
We also speak with a tillage farmer who focuses on farming ancient grains in Co Tipperary.
