The Agrikids Story
Since 2015 AgriKids has been at the forefront of children's farm safety education in Ireland.

The story of AgriKids begins in 2014 when Ireland was set to have its worst year on record for farm accidents. That year 30 people were to perish on Irish farms, five of those were children.
With much of her family involved in farming, founder, Alma Jordan became acutely aware that if things remained as they were her family may also become a farm accident statistic. She wanted her family and farm families nationwide to create conversations on farm safety in their homes and communities.
While involved with the Green Schools programme Alma witnessed how capable and influential our children are in teaching older generations. As children learned to reduce, reuse and recycle in the classroom and they were actively encouraging and educating their parents to do the same in the home.
Alma therefore devised a concept whose outcome would be to initiate a change in farm safety attitudes so communities could look to a sustainably safer future on farms – AgriKids was born and officially launched in June 2015.
