Teagasc Agri-Environment Conference 2018

Registration for this event will close on Monday October 22nd at 4.30 pm.

From Burren Beginnings to Locally led EIPs

The sustainability of Ireland's food exports has become a key selling point for achieving higher prices and for access to the most lucrative markets. For this to continue Irish Farmers will need to continue to adopt sustainable practices and increasingly provide evidence of continual improvement. The Agri-Environmental Conference focuses on new developments in locally led European Innovation Programmes. For example The Burren Programme, Aran LIFE and the Hen Harrier project.

Lunch will be available on the day to purchase for €15.

Basis/Iasis points will be updated in due course.

Burren Winterage School 2018

Farming for Nature

25th -27th Oct 2018

Gort & Kinvara, Co. Galway

This year’s Burren Winterage School is an extended and enriched affair, as befits a subject as diverse and fascinating as this year’s theme of ‘Farming for Nature’. Co-ordinated by the Burrenbeo Trust, in co-operation this year with Teagasc, and supported by the Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the EU-Horizon 2020 funded HNV Link project, the school will take place in a number of locations across the ‘Galway Burren’ over three days in late October (25th – 27th). It forms part of a broader festival of events to celebrate and support pastoral farming and its importance to our rural communities and heritage.
