Agricultural Science students valuable exposure to the reality of life on a working farm. Unfortunately, this year’s planned event at UCD Lyons Farm was cancelled due to the threat of COVID-19, but staff from UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science responded quickly to ensure students didn’t entirely miss out on the experience. They created a virtual farm tour through a series of videos covering a broad range of topics, from grassland science to sustainable sheep production.
