Organics From Ireland

Ireland has a steep tradition and heritage in producing world class organic produce. Due to Ireland’s island location on the most western point of Europe and its mild temperate wet climate, it is the ideal location for producing high quality, delicious tasting organic produce. Irish organic farmers are committed to working in harmony with nature utilising the natural resources of Ireland’s lush grasslands. While 100% of salmon from Ireland is organic, fed on a diet of natural ingredients with fish welfare and health a top priority. Irish organic food and beverages are certified to strict EU organic standards along with accreditation from the leading organic standard across Continental Europe and the UK.

Origin Green

Launched in 2012, Origin Green is Bord Bia’s national sustainability programme for the Irish food and drink industry. It is the only sustainability programme in the world which operates on a national scale, uniting government, the private sector and food and drink producers. The programme provides a structure for Irish food and drink companies to showcase their commitment to producing in a sustainable manner.

Origin Green is independently verified, enabling Ireland’s farmers, producers and food businesses to set and achieve measurable sustainability targets – reducing environmental impact, serving local communities more effectively and protecting the extraordinarily rich natural resources that our country enjoys. To date, there are 49,000 beef farms and 18,000 dairy farms signed up to the programme, 284 verified members from Ireland’s food and drink manufacturing supply base and 6 verified members from the retail and foodservice sector.
