TikTok has also teamed up with Agri Aware to highlight a different kind of safety on the farm. Farming remains Ireland’s most dangerous job, and this partnership will focus on reducing accidents, supporting mental health and strengthening networks in rural communities.

As part of the campaign, Fiona is working with Agri Aware to produce content that tackles these challenges head-on, amplifying life-saving messages to the thriving FarmTok community.

Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Healy-Rae, welcomed the initiative, saying: “Farming is an immensely important, yet challenging and stressful occupation. This campaign will deliver practical tips and best practice advice to farmers about how to protect themselves on the farm and there’s no doubt that TikTok will have a real impact on the reach and impact of these messages to everyone in the farming sector.”
