Over 600 students set to attend Agri Aware’s annual Farm Walk and Talk series in Limerick
Teagasc Salesian Agricultural College, Pallaskenry to host Limerick event
AGRI Aware’s annual Farm Walk and Talk series is returning for 2026, offering second-level students studying agricultural science the chance to step onto farms.
This year’s series will see each event cover all cross-cutting themes of the agricultural science curriculum, with the addition of a stand dedicated to the Individual Investigative Study (IIS) that is worth 25% of the final grade, where students can talk to Agri Aware education officers and seek advice on their projects.
To cater for increased demand there are two options for the Limerick events at Teagasc Salesian Agricultural College, Pallaskenry - Thursday, February 26 and Friday, February 27.

Students will have the unique opportunity to take their classroom learnings to the farmyard and witness real-world applications of the latest agricultural techniques and practices.
After a successful 2025, where over 4,100 students took part, Agri Aware is looking forward to meeting teachers and students once again on farms where the most modern, up-to-date research, technology, and practices are implemented alongside our event partners and patrons.
Agri Aware chair is Croom farmer Shay Galvin.
He said “It is with great pride to announce the return of our flagship secondary school event series Farm Walk & Talk. For 2026, we are thrilled to offer the series to Leaving Certificate Agricultural Science students, and Transition Year students and thanks to the LOETB the fee for students has been waived. We look forward to welcoming students and teachers across all events and hope they take back valuable learnings to the classroom.”
