Agriculture
The agri-food sector is one of Ireland’s most important indigenous manufacturing sectors, accounting for significant employment as well as being the cornerstone of many other sectors. Shannon ABC have worked with a range of companies in Ireland to help support them in their R&D requirements in the Agriculture sectors.
The Agriculture sector plays a pivotal role in Irish and global supply chains. The expansion of the global population will continue to put pressure on agricultural outputs, demanding more from less, but doing so in a sustainable way. The bioeconomy has a significant part to play in addressing this. Innovative use of bioresources and co-products, improved processing methods and cross-sectoral collaboration are all essential for a functional bioeconomy.
Shannon ABC can support the Agricultural sector through a range of capabilities:
- Analytical expertise (LC-MS, AA, ICP-MS, HPLC, GC-MS)
- Plant growth chambers
- Plant biostimulant expertise
- Optimal use of bioresources
