No better time, then, for Farming Life’s Richard Halleron to have a ‘virtual coffee’ with the lady that has been charged with the job of making sure this work gets over the line - Dr Elizabeth Magowan.
Earlier this week, AFBI’s Director of Sustainable Agri-Food Sciences Division and mother of two young children gave up some of her valuable time to discuss her background, upbringing, her interest in science and the opportunities that now exist to develop a farming industry in Northern Ireland that is fit for purpose - in every sense.

Over 100,000 homes will need to be built in England every year as a result of mass migration, analysis from the Migration Watch UK think tank has found.
A new home will need to be built every five minutes until the early 2040s as a result of immigration, representing 57 per cent of all new homes, or 107,400 homes per year, according to an analysis conducted of Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures by Migration Watch.
The think tank found that the impact of foreign arrivals in the country will require nearly 2.7 million homes to be built in the country by the year 2043, which they noted would be equivalent to nine cities the size of Glasgow.
