Bord Bia chief executive Jim O’Toole said: “Bord Bia is committed to increasing our engagement with farmers to allow for greater farmer participation in its decision-making. We will begin the formation of the forum in the coming weeks.”An open call will be issued for farmers, growers, and producers to join the Farmer Forum. All forum members must be active farmers or primary producer businesses (full-time or part-time) and current members of Bord Bia quality assurance schemes.
