Media Diary Notice: National EIP-AGRI Conference, Athlone, 28 November 2022
EIP-AGRI projects are one of the great success stories of our agri-environment schemes. This conference, organised by the National Rural Network (NRN) on behalf of the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine (DAFM), will bring farmers, researchers, farm advisers and policymakers together to discuss successful innovative approaches towards agri-environmental protection and sustainability of farms across Ireland through EIP-AGRI’s locally-led, farmer-centred approach, and discover the numerous lessons learned to date over the course of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) 2014-2020 (extended to 2022). As well as hearing about the ‘on-the-ground’ experiences of featured EIP-AGRI Projects on the day, a representative from the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine (DAFM) will explain where EIP-AGRI sits within the new CAP Strategic Plan (2023-2027).
