Agriculture & Natural Resources

Saving the planet has become rather fashionable of late with everyone speaking the somewhat inconvenient truths of the effect our daily lives can have on the world around us. However there are other reasons to consider a career in this sector aside from the respect and admiration you may inspire in others.

It is undoubtedly a choice that will provide you with a sense of purpose and self-fulfilment. Utilising, protecting and regulating the natural resources of Ireland is a vital part of ensuring that as we expand as a country and a nation we are careful to ensure that our responsibilities to the environment remain secure.

There is a huge diversity of professions in this industry; a good way of deciding what may be suitable to you is to consider what cause interests you the most. If you have always been inspired by the greenery of our landscape then forestry could be an option; or if the thought of working the land is more your scene then perhaps the fact that over 5% of the Irish workforce are employed in farming might tempt you into considering the change of lifestyle.

Whatever route you choose a large amount of research should be undertaken before you sell all your worldly possessions and move to a shack in the middle of nowhere to pursue your interest in fishing. There are a huge number of organisations out there that can advise and assist you in finding your calling so have a look through the careers mentioned and take the first steps into the exciting and evolving world of Agriculture & Natural Resources…
