In episode three of Food Island, we are continuing our journey through the past, present and future of Irish food and agriculture. This week, we explore the era of pre- and post-independence and how the political and social shifts during this time affected our food and farming methods. 

Host Janine Kennedy speaks with former Irish Farmers Journal editor, Matt Dempsey, independent food and tourism activist John Mulcahy and she also pays a visit to the garage at the Agricultural History Museum in Co Wexford, where a group of retied volunteers spend each Tuesday fixing up old cars, tractors and machinery.

Food Island is presented by multi-award-winning food journalist Janine Kennedy and brought to you by the Irish Farmers Journal. It shares the evolving story of Ireland’s rich food ways, farming cultures and gastronomy. This special six-part series on the past, present and future of Irish food and agriculture was produced in collaboration with the UCD Earth Institute.
