20 farmers are again invited to enrol for the fully-funded year-long University College Cork (UCC) Diploma in Environment, Sustainability and Climate which begins in September, as Tirlán and Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur celebrate 50 years in partnership by opening applications for their third successive Sustainable Farming Academy.
The highly sought-after diploma is delivered mainly online and is tailored to fit in with each farmer’s full-time, on-farm responsibilities. It equips Tirlán family farm suppliers with the most relevant and up-to-date knowledge to continue to address sustainability challenges. The Academy is also aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The accredited and fully-funded Diploma is delivered through academic partner UCC. As part of the course, participants are required to submit a number of assignments, all of which are scheduled during quieter times in the farming calendar.
The Diploma also recognises prior learning and modules include Earth Science, Climate Change and Sustainable Development as well as Ecology, Applied Geographical Information Systems, Environmental Protection and Practical Environmental Management. All learning is directly applicable on farm.
Applications for the Sustainability Farming Academy are now open and the programme begins in September 2024. Log on to www.tirlanfarmlife.com
