Irish Agricultural Society

The Irish Agricultural Society, founded in 1836, was established to promote agricultural development, education, and innovation in Ireland. It organized exhibitions, fairs, and competitions to showcase farming techniques and livestock, encouraging best practices among farmers. The society aimed to improve crop yields, animal breeding, and overall rural economy by facilitating knowledge exchange and advocating for agricultural progress. It played a key role in modernizing Irish agriculture during the 19th century, fostering community engagement among farmers, and supporting the adoption of new technologies and methods to strengthen Ireland’s farming industry.
