Summary
Hailing from Carlow, Shane Maher joins Hannah Furlong on this week’s podcast to chat about his path to completing a PhD focused on innovative nutritional strategies to enhance pig performance, health and environmental sustainability in UCD. Having not grown up on a farm, Shane chats about how he went on to study agricultural science at university and how he got involved with the Irish Shows Association (ISA), where he is currently a board member and eastern regional secretary. Now working as nutrition and sustainability lead at Adesco Nutricines in Co Waterford, he has a passion for applying science in practice and developing practical solutions that contribute to a more sustainable agri-food industry.
