#Aginspire episode 18 : Life experiences and understanding agriculture with Aisling Meehan

Introduction

I've been lucky over the last number of years to have some great conversations. These have often inspired me around areas of animal health and beyond. So, I said, why not start having more of them and sharing some of these inspiring stories of people in agriculture.

I also want to challenge my thinking and who knows, even occasionally, the status quo.

So I'm giving #Aginspire conversations a go for a few months.

The aim is simple "To have conversations with interesting people doing inspiring things in agriculture."

 

This week I catch up with the inspiring Agrisolicitor Aisling Meehan. A busy mum of three, farmer and businesswoman, she is passionate about Irish Agriculture.

Someone who is a leading authority in farming law in Ireland. A Nuffield scholar who has tackled adversity and triumphed on every occasion. She has had a successful career and gives some of the lessons she has learned along the way. Her passion for agriculture has led her to set up a farmer-driven campaign called "Understanding Ag" https://agriculturalsolicitors.ie/understand-agriculture/
