A welcome from the Director of Research

Teagasc is the leading organisation in the fields of agriculture and food research in Ireland, undertaking innovative research in:

  • Animal and Grassland Research and Innovation
  • Crops, Environment and Land Use
  • Food
  • Rural Economy and Development

National Research Collaboration

We collaborate extensively with our colleagues in Irish universities. Our postgraduate scholarships programme, which supports more than 100 MSc and PhD students annually in our research centres, enhances this collaboration.

International Research Collaboration

We participate extensively in EU Framework Programmes and we have developed bilateral agreements with research organisations in Europe, the USA and New Zealand.

The Irish economy in general, agricultural producers and consumers specifically, have benefited substantially from the technological development and new information emanating from research undertaken by Irish scientists.

This website provides just a flavour of the extensive range of research in which our staff are engaged. Feel free to contact us for further information on our work.
