Food Systems Through the Eyes of Young People

  • Food Systems Through the Eyes of Young People

    A Survey by Airfield Estate Youth Board

  • The term ‘food system’ encompasses all stages of food production.  This includes everything from growing, to picking, transport, sale and eventually cooking and eating. It also includes the policies and laws that govern how food is made and sold.

    This survey, by Airfield Estate’s Youth Board aims to find the perceptions of young people about Ireland’s food system, where they fit into it and where they see challenges and opportunities in the food system.  This is a chance to have your voice heard, whether you’re a farmer, a retail worker or you buy prepare or eat food, we want to hear from you! The results of this survey will show the Irish public and the government how young people see the Irish food system and their role within it.

    Thank you for taking 5 minutes to share your responses to this survey. No personal details will be collected and all responses will be anonymous.  Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us and helping to shape the future of Irish food systems.
