Continuing with the deep dive into our farmer survey - today we’re talking about regenerative practices in horticulture. A wide variety of practices supporting the growth of our fruit and veg! #regenerativeagriculture #horticulture #soilhealth

I’d say they saved a few conventional farmers too. Hopefully Minister @martinheydonfg will reinstate the schemes in 2027. #NoBrainer

Today we're looking in more detail at what influences regenerative farmers - and Nature and Soil Health come out as clear winners.

Almost 98% of respondents told us that concern for nature/soil health was important to them followed by Social and Financial factors. @BaseIreland

Some more results from our farmer survey…this time from the 226 grassland farmers who completed it.

We'll continue to following up with more information on the different practices and why farmers use them over the course of the project, so keep following! @BaseIreland

Best wishes to the SoilCycle EIP which launched in Newbridge today. The Project aims to boost nutrient recycling in Irish tillage by applying organic manures in-crop to improve yields, reduce chemical fertiliser use, and cut environmental losses. @teagasc @agriculture_ie

[Project BASELINE @ProBASELINE]

There were 65 arable farmers who told us they were implementing regenerative practices on their farms.

We'll be following up with more information on the different practices and why farmers use them over the course of the project so keep watching!

One of the first objectives of Project BASELINE EIP was to get a snapshot of what Regenerative Agriculture looked like in Ireland today. Over the next few weeks we will share our findings. Some of the results might surprise you! @BaseIreland @agriculture_ie

🪱🐜 Happy #WorldSoilDay!! 🕷️🪲

Although we celebrate soil everyday, today is a great reminder to appreciate the breadth of diversity beneath our feet.

Check out the GSBI atlas to explore the organisms that call soil home!

Back on the road - a wonderful visit with Nigel & Kate Gillis with our masters postgraduate group. Cover crops, soil biology, seed inoculation, & biostimulants the foundation of a profitable cropping enterprise 👏👏👏 @agriculture_ie @NatOrgSkill @SETUAgriculture @BaseIreland

[Geraghty Consulting @Geraghty_Notill]

@GeraghtyWIT @agriculture_ie @NatOrgSkill @SETUAgriculture @BaseIreland Nigel has transformed his enterprise with cover crops and different crops developing productive biodiversity in the fields @agriculture_ie @BaseIreland @EUAgri @SETUAgriculture @DeptOfSciSETU
