Teagasc (Irish pronunciation: [ˈtʲaɡəsˠk], meaning “Instruction”) is the national authority in Ireland responsible for research and development, training and advisory services in the agri-food sector. The official title of the body is Teagasc – the Agriculture and Food Development Authority. The authority has several county advisory centres, colleges and research centres in which it carries out its main business. Teagasc has recently been awarded funding by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, that will support the delivery of a new project titled AIMBIO – All Island Marine Bio‑based Refineries for Circular Blue‑Bioeconomy. The project is coordinated by Teagasc and brings together a strong all‑island partnership of academic, research, and industry stakeholders. AIMBIO will demonstrate how side‑streams from Ireland’s marine and aquatic sectors, including aquaculture and seafood processing, can be transformed into high‑value ingredients for sectors such as food, feed, cosmetics, and chemicals. Teagasc will employ the new REV™ dryer to support the project by enabling rapid, energy‑efficient drying of marine and aquaculture side‑streams prior to further processing. REV™ dehydration technology will allow the team to generate consistent, scalable dried fractions for downstream extraction, formulation, and product development, strengthening the project’s ability to demonstrate industry‑relevant bioprocessing solutions.
