## Resource

Young Irish farmers are quietly quitting—or preparing to—due to crushing financial pressures, with nearly one in three under 45 considering leaving the industry within five years. One 25-year-old balances hospital porter shifts and family farm labor, admitting he can’t make farming his full-time career. Income volatility, societal disconnect (like city dwellers ignoring food’s origins), and lack of government support threaten rural futures. Yet, resilience endures as youth-led groups fight to secure a sustainable agricultural legacy for Ireland’s next generation.
