We understand the importance of promoting soil health and biodiversity on farms. These yield strong benefits in terms of the ecosystems on farm and optimising animal and plant performance.
Our Open Source™ Programme is Glanbia Ireland’s sustainability and quality assurance programme that seeks to protect, enhance and promote the integrity of our products from primary producer to end-user.
For us, it all begins with care: caring about our farmers and customers, caring about more innovative use of breakthrough technologies, caring enough to set the highest standards for dairy and grain production. We have built a world-class nutrition business from our network of over 6,000 family farms, their grass-fed herds and premium grains, delivering the results of their tireless work to tables across the world every day since.
As a global dairy, grains and nutrition producer, we’re only as good as our produce, and it is our farmers who pledge to deliver that level of quality through honest, daily work.
Habitats such as hedges, watercourses and field margins are features that define the Irish agricultural landscape and boost the biodiversity and sustainability of our farms.
Glanbia Ireland has launched a new knowledge transfer programme in partnership with the media outlet, the Irish Farmers Journal, called Sustainable Farm Insights.
Glanbia Ireland has been eager to play our part in supporting our communities through the challenges of Covid-19. We have been working with community groups across the areas where we all work and live.
At Tirlán, we believe that we have outstanding natural credentials in producing nutritious dairy and plant-based products in harmony with the environment.
