In 1996, a number of leading agri-food businesses identified the need for an independent body to provide the general public with information and education on the importance of agriculture and food to the Irish economy. As a result, Agri Aware was founded in 1996 by Bord Bia, FBD, the Irish Dairy Board, the Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) and the Irish Farmers' Journal. Agri Aware is a Charitable Trust that is funded by the farming and agri-food industry (see www.agriaware.ie for patron details).
To convey the importance of the agri-food industry amongst the general public, Agri Aware delivers high impact educational and public awareness initiatives and projects for students and the general public.
