We have delved into Ireland's rich history of food and agriculture, and now it's time to face our current reality. What is Ireland's place in an increasingly tech-driven and globalised world? Are farmers prepared to face the roadblocks ahead as we race to meet our sustainability goals? In this modern age, what even constitutes "Irish" food?

In this episode of Food Island, our six-part series on the past, present and future of Irish food and agriculture, host Janine Kennedy speaks with Irish Farmers Journal editor, Jack Kennedy; chef and author, JP McMahon and UCD professor of politics and Earth Institute member Patrick Paul Walsh.

Food Island is presented by multi-award-winning food journalist Janine Kennedy and brought to you by the Irish Farmers Journal. It shares the evolving story of Ireland’s rich food ways, farming cultures and gastronomy. This special six-part series on the past, present and future of Irish food and agriculture was produced in collaboration with the UCD Earth Institute @universitycollegedublin.
