Irish Language EIP-AGRI National Conference 2022 Report

Aug 1, 2023 | EIP-AGRI News

In November 2022, the National Rural Network (NRN) hosted an EIP-AGRI National Conference on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM), which brought farmers, researchers, community groups, farm advisers and policymakers together to discuss successful innovative approaches towards agri-environmental protection and sustainability of farms across Ireland through EIP-AGRI’s locally-led, farmer-centred approach, and to extract the numerous lessons learned over the course of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) 2014-2020 (extended to 2022). 

An Irish language version of a report drawing together the key messages emerging from the event is now available to view / download here.

Held in Athlone, the EIP-AGRI National Conference consisted of three sessions. The first heard about the innovative practices and impact of six EIP-AGRI projects located throughout Ireland. The second provided attendees with an insight into the experiences ‘on the ground’ of another five EIP-AGRI projects. This was followed by a representative from the DAFM explaining the role of EIP-AGRI within the CAP Strategic Plan (2023-2027). The final session invited attendees into breakout sessions to discuss the future of EIP-AGRI in Ireland.

The main takeaways from the event are presented on page 26 of this report. In addition, a range of presentations given on the day can be found on page 27.
