A SOILCRATES–Ireland joint co-creation session was held at Doon Social Farm on Saturday 24 January 2026. Over 40 participants attended a lively joint event for all counties, featuring several presentations and active participation from farmers.
The agenda included a presentation from Dr. Lena Madden, who spoke about the SOILCRATES initiative and other funded farm soil health funded projects; presentations from our partners Cloughjordan Community Farm, Ballyhoura Development, and Loop Head Together on their current work and the supports available to farmers in the area; and contributions from TUS Sustainable Development Research Institute (SDRI) and Green Restoration Ireland outlining their activities and farming development initiatives.
The event also included a round-table discussion where attendees had the opportunity to discuss sustainability and environmental measures in Irish farming.
