Winner: Bord Bia, ICBF & Teagasc – AgNav
“A gift that travels up the supply chain.” That’s how one of our judges summed up Bord Bia’s initiative to help tens of thousands of farmers boost sustainability via bespoke strategies.
Created by three of Ireland’s largest food and agriculture trade bodies – Bord Bia, Teagasc and ICBF – AgNav is an online platform that provides free, science-led sustainability support to farms.
The platform has grown rapidly since launch. Between 2023 and 2024, the number of plans shot up 500%, meaning 15,000 farmers are now signed up.

Last year, it also broadened support to arable farmers and expanded metrics to include ammonia emissions, water quality, and production efficiency.
“The demand for this couldn’t be clearer,” said our judges, citing “significant benefits that go far beyond the farmgate and all the way up the value chain”.
