This week, our Polish team enjoyed participating in the World Meat Day Global Congress, organised by the Polish Meat Association. The congress was a significant gathering of farmers, industry leaders, and experts who came together to discuss the future of agriculture. The event concluded with an exciting development— signing a declaration to establish World Meat Day as a new annual celebration for our industry! Stephen Connolly , ABP Agri Sustainability Manager, contributed to a panel discussion on the Green Deal. He addressed potential policy measures that could aid family farms in becoming more economically and environmentally sustainable. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our Poland General Manager, Wiesław Ilków , who was awarded an Order of Merit for his exceptional contributions to agriculture in Poland! #TeamABP #WorldMeatDay

Congratulations to two Year 12 students from Aughnacloy College, Co. Tyrone, who have won the 2024 ABP Angus Youth Challenge with their innovative project on sustainable farming, titled "Creating a Vibrant Farming Culture for Future Generations." From local farming families, Jack Steenson and Alexander Smith impressed judges with their creative focus on ensuring the long-term sustainability of agriculture in Northern Ireland. Dromore High School took the runner-up position with their project on promoting diversity in the beef supply chain. Whilst Sarah Gilchrist from St. Colmcille’s High School was recognised for her outstanding individual contribution. The winning team received the ABP Angus Youth Challenge Cup and a £1,000 prize. Throughout the past year, finalists reared Angus beef cattle under a CAFRE - College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise mentor in accordance with DAERA’s beef carbon reduction programme. At the same time they worked on projects to improve sustainability in the beef supply chain. Jack and Alexander's project included a children’s storybook about sustainable farming, launched at the Armagh Show. Book sales and a ‘guess the weight of the heifer draw’ raised £1,600 for Air Ambulance NI. Their book was shared in 11 EU countries and beyond. Congratulations to both Jack and Alexander 🙌 #ABPAngusYouth #PassingItOn #SustainableFarming

We are delighted to share that the Dairy Calf-to-Beef International Conference, held on October 16th and 17th in Wexford, was a resounding success! Organised by Teagasc with the support of the BSAS - British Society of Animal Science (BSAS) and ABP, this event brought together top scientists and industry experts from around the globe to explore the latest innovations in dairy-beef production. Participants enjoyed a series of insightful presentations covering key topics such as the financial and environmental sustainability of dairy-beef systems, advancements in beef cattle genetics, and the nutrition and health of dairy-beef calves.
