Lots has happened within SOCIAL FARMING IRELAND over the past year. From our national conference held in March, to engaging with international Social Farmers and policy influencers, to undertaking significant research in support of the benefits of Social Farming amongst a variety of sectors, to hosting numerous open days and network events to spread the word about Social Farming we are building the profile practice of Social Farming all the time. We facilitated placements for 300 participants on 22 farms—helping to create new opportunities, connecting people and enhancing lives.
