The Minister for Agriculture, Food, and the Marine, Martin Heydon launched the 4th All Island Bioeconomy Summit with representatives of InterTradeIreland, BiOrbic Research Ireland Centre for Bioeconomy, Irish Bioeconomy Foundation, Gas Networks Ireland and Foster Environmental. This year’s event will be held on the 13th May in Johnstown Estate, Enfield, Co. Meath. The bioeconomy summit has grown stronger each year since its inception in 2021. From its humble beginnings as an online event, this year’s summit is expected to welcome over 200 delegates. The event will allow for key stakeholder and networks of the bioeconomy on the island of Ireland to meet and will this year focus on areas such as blue bioeconomy, commercial bioeconomy development and replacing fossil fuel products with new biobased products. Minister Heydon said ‘Replacing fossil-based products with alternative biobased products will create opportunities for agriculture, forestry, and the entire food system.  This is what the bioeconomy is all about, enabling the creation of new value streams, valorisation of farm residues whilst strengthening the role of primary producers in the value chain and generating new jobs in the rural areas. The Minister added: ’That is why the Programme for Government indicates the Governments commitment to develop Ireland’s bioeconomy through a coordinated approach that harnesses Ireland’s natural resources and competitive advantage. An essential part of our coordinated approach is consulting with stakeholders including industry and the All-Island Bioeconomy Summit is a very important event to continue to do so’.
