In association with Teagasc ConnectED, Dairy Sustainability Ireland, and Food Drinks Ireland Skillnet, the National Rural Network is hosting a series of online webinars called the Signpost Series. The webinars target those interested in the environment, sustainability, climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, the impact on agriculture, and science-based solutions and policies to mitigate the adverse effects and encourage the positive impact.
Agriculture is the primary land use in Ireland and farmers are responsible for farming in a sustainable manner to protect and enhance key resources and habitats.
The Signpost webinars aim to discuss the challenges and opportunities that face Irish and International agriculture.
