A Food Heartland envoy, including the Lord Mayor, Councillor Sarah Duffy, Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Kyle Savage, Alderman Paul Greenfield (Chair of Economic Development and Regeneration Committee) and Chief Executive Roger Wilson OBE, visited Balmoral Show yesterday – Thursday 15th May – to show support for breeders and agri-businesses from across the borough.
The Food Heartland Agri Champions were also present, taking the opportunity to meet with producers, engage with visitors, and network with key industry players. Their presence underscored the borough’s dedication to innovation and sustainability within the agri-food sector.
Throughout the event, Food Heartland representatives connected with important stakeholders including the Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU), the Rural Support Network, and Food NI, reinforcing strong collaborative ties that continue to strengthen the region’s agricultural economy.
The Balmoral Show remains a vital platform for showcasing the talent, quality, and resilience of the local agri-food industry, and Food Heartland was delighted to be part of it.
