A new innovative, locally-led farm project entitled ‘Farming with Nature’ which aims to create a world recognised Irish Biodiversity brand that brings a premium price to the farmer, has been awarded €111,000 in funding.
The new project is led by an operational group consisting of Castlelyons local Sinead Treanor, Teagasc, Kepak, Bord Bia, local dairy farmer Donal Sheehan (Castlelyons) and Sinead Hickey of the BRIDE project.
