Ep 1254: Food Island Episode 1 - Land of milk and honey
Can our past help us navigate a more sustainable future in food production and our eating habits? Ireland has long been known as a food-producing nation, but do we really know just how far back that extends? In the first episode of this six-part series on the past, present and future of Irish food and agriculture, journalist Janine Kennedy speaks with UCD School of Archaeology researchers Prof Meriel McClatchie and Prof Jessica Smyth, whose careers have centred around understanding our prehistoric diets and farming practises. She also speaks with Co Tipperary-based farmer, Maurice Deasy, who produces some “ancient grains” on his family tillage farm. Food Island is brought to you by the Irish Farmers Journal. 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. Food Island is an Irish Farmers Journal podcast presented by multi-award-winning food journalist, Janine Kennedy.
