Local food producers have a chance to find out more about an EU scheme to protect the names of prized regional foods next month.
The Department of Agriculture is hosting two presentations to highlight the benefits and opportunities of the PDO, or Protected Designation of Origin, scheme.

Guest speakers from the United Kingdom will give Manx producers advice on how to export, and the benefits of attending trade shows.
Agriculture Minister Phil Gawne (audio file attached):
Researching your Manx family history can be a very interesting and rewarding hobby. Trace your roots in the Isle of Man with our helpful of guide.
