Ireland
The Irish EDF Branch comprises 25 members from Cork and various other regions of Ireland. The diverse group of farmers drives growth and development of Ireland’s grass-based dairy system in a variety of innovative ways.
Irish EDF’s Group Representatives
EDF’s national branches form a vital part of our organization, bringing members together regularly at the national level to compare and analyze their farm figures, and discuss key topics in dairy farming and strategic management. These groups benefit from the support of our national Scientific EDF partners.
Branches with at least 10 members are eligible for representation on the EDF Council, ensuring their interests contribute to shaping the future of EDF.
