Growing Organics farm walks start next month

Growing Organics is a five-year programme led by Teagasc, and will promote the adoption of best practice at farm level.

Launching the programme, Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture Pippa Hackett said that organic farm walks "are an invaluable way for farmers to see for themselves the opportunities that exist by adapting their farming system to organic principles". 

The first of the Growing Organics Monitor Farm Programme walks will take place on June 2.

Growing Organics is a new five-year programme led by Teagasc, and will promote the adoption of best practice at farm level to increase the future viability and sustainability of the Irish organic sector.
