Sustainable farming photography winners announced at Tullamore Show

The winners of the Irish Farmers Journal Sustainable Farming Photography Competition were announced at the Tullamore Show on Sunday, August 10.

The announcement took place in the Sustainable Livestock Village, with four winners selected on the day.

The overall winner was Brian Joyce from Mayo with his striking image 'At Home on the Mountain', capturing a Mayo Mountain ewe grazing beneath Croagh Patrick, a powerful reflection of farming in harmony with nature.

Other winners included Roisin Smyth from Cavan, for 'The Golden Girls', depicting blackthorn hedges along a farm lane, Lorraine Hogan from Cork, for 'Into the Wild', showcasing a biodiversity-rich field alive with pollinators, and Liam Barton from Laois for 'Growing a Future from the Ground Up', telling the story of a young farmer building a sustainable heifer-rearing enterprise.
