23 schemes to ‘get a result’ for the environment

Daniel Hession reports on how European Innovation Partnership schemes will use €59m of funding to help build a sustainable agricultural system that respects the environment

Sustainability features strongly in 23 European Innovation Partnerships projects, with a €59m total investment from the Department of Agriculture.

These rural projects focus variously on biodiversity, organic production, pollinators, water quality, flood management, soils, farming in an archaeological landscape, and targeting unutilised agricultural biomass.
