The weeklong event kicking off this coming Monday, April 29th and finishing on Friday May 3rd will see Agri Aware bring healthy eating week to schools both in-person and online as part of its longstanding healthy eating and growing programme Incredible Edibles.

The Agri Aware team will once again be doing a school roadshow, taking in primary schools in counties Dublin and Louth alongside its partners for the week Dole Ireland.

Agri Aware and Dole Ireland will be joined in both schools by renowned chef and Life Is Better brand ambassador Eoin Sheehan from Co Limerick. Eoin will be on hand to talk about the benefits of a healthy balanced diet and create some delicious smoothies for students to enjoy on both days.
