Join Karen O’Donoghue founder of The Happy Tummy Co along with Mescan Brewery’s Cillian Ó Móráin and the Marine Institute’s Hugo Maxwell, live online as we delve into a big discussion on the future of food, farming, and the enormous impact of the seemingly simple choices we make every day.

We’ll meet the food producers who are choosing to make food differently as they share insights from farm to fork, and discover how collectively we can all work together to shape a more positive future – not just for our tastebuds but for our planet too.
