Presentation, Workshops and demonstration of insights into farm diversification, soil erosion protection, ecosystem performance and digital farming technologies

3 days event dedicated to farmers addressing topics such as microbiome farming, sustainability of rural areas and valorization of the territory

The Grow Learn: Autumn School is an educational initiative designed to develop farmers’ knowledge and skills on soil health.

Presentations, group workshops, visits to research test sites

Shannon McLaughlin speaking at the NextGen Regen course for young farmers wanting to get involved in regenerative farming. The session was based on Sustainable Leadership and motivating farmers to adopt new farming practices.

Webinar on water management techniques for the primary sector

Training on soil microbiome to farmers specializing in vineyard and aromatic herbs

Presentations, group and plenum discussions

Webinars Cycle on functional biodiversity

The aim of the event was to organize a meeting for a group of agricultural producers, where participants will be able to learn about new modern methods of cultivation (with the special attention for Regenerative Agriculture) and will have the opportunity to exchange knowledge through networking.

In three field trips, we'll address issues related to soil and plant health, with a practical view of the problems and solutions for more sustainable agriculture.

Teachers from several agricultural schools are prepared for specific LfL topics: Farm diversification, breeding research (drought resistance, old grain varieties), robotics and strip intercropping); seminar formats and field visits

Field visits to various hands-on projects (strip intercropping, organic breeding platform, co-operative direct marketing); Agricultural students and a group of former agricultural science graduates from the Technical University of Munich were welcomed

Activity during external event BioReaction. The project was promoted, and the table was open for discussion. Farmers were surveyed about their needs towards sustainable (regenerative) agriculture. KPI - means the number of surveyed farmers with whom we had a discussion

It is important that agricultural vocational students who come into contact with modern agricultural practices for the first time during their training are given the opportunity to experience them in a practical environment. EIT Food supported the field trip of two classes from two vocational schools to attend a one-day excursion with a field demonstration. Fortunately, the young farmers also included a large proportion of female pupils.

Learn about Swales to treat and reduce nutrient runoff water from your farm with Ian Marshall. Learn from Ian as he shares his experience using swales on his own farm.

The Agrifood Open Day is set to unite stakeholders from the agrifood sector for profound discussions at regional, national, and European levels. The event will center on the pivotal role of innovation, entrepreneurship, and education in shaping the future of agrifood systems.

Presentation of various trial programmes on organic and integrated cultivation methods: Integrated weed management, disease control and crop management in winter wheat; crop management; weed control in soya beans; target groups: farmers & advisors

Learn about holistic grazing management with Jonny Blair and his use of long recovery periods and mixed swards to enhance soil structure and reduce requirements for inputs, such as fertiliser as well as lower veterinary costs. Learn from Jonny and his journey as well as get hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture.

Join us for a Grow workshop with Niels Corfield. Learn about how poor soil and pasture health are bringing systemic weaknesses to grazing operations and what to do about it. Topics covered inlcude: soil health; monitoring; compaction; pasture monitoring; grazing management, grass production and advice on interventions and solutions.

The importance of healthy soils. Measure soil health, including VESS, soil testing and biological indicators above and below ground. Composting and Bioreactors.

Join us for joint workshop with the Ulster Wildlife and Grow on the Keown farm. Learn about how Oliver and Diane Keown run an integrated farm business where they make the best use of the differing land types and habitats, by matching the breeding stock, and the production stage of the animal to the optimum land type.
