Putting social farming at the heart of rural matters
Social farming is the practice of offering activity on family farms as a form of social care support. Pic: Social Farming Ireland.
South Kerry Development Partnership’s ‘Kerry Social Farming Project’ is set to continue its offering to people with disabilities in an effort to help them engage with farm families and the community in meeting their personal development goals - thanks to the Rural Innovation and Development Fund (RIDF) and an allocation of €360,000.
The move comes as the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine announces “continued support” for Social Farming under the RIDF this year.
