AN CUMANN EOLAIOCHT TALMHAIOCHTA (THE AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION)

An Cumann Eolaiocht Talmhaiochta (ASA Ireland) is the voluntary professional body for graduates working in agricultural, horticultural, forestry, environmental and food science. Since its founding in 1942, the association has championed the interests of the agri-food sector, providing a unified voice for more than 1,600 members who are employed across government, research, advisory, education, agri-business, rural organisations, banking and the media - both in Ireland and internationally.

ASA Ireland offers a range of member-focused benefits, including exclusive discounts on telecommunications, energy, insurance, accommodation and supplies, as well as professional development opportunities such as conferences, workshops and bursaries. Its flagship event, the ASA Conference, brings together experts to address global food-security challenges and Ireland's role in delivering solutions. By fostering strong links with Irish universities and institutes of technology, the association helps shape the next generation of agricultural scientists while supporting its members in advancing sustainable, innovative practices throughout the Irish agri-food landscape.
