Better Farming for Water with Pat Dillon

Water quality continues to be a major focus for the agricultural industry, and while farmers are already making changes on farm, there is increasing emphasis on how practical actions can improve water quality outcomes at catchment level.

In this episode of the Dairy Edge podcast, Pat Dillon from Teagasc joins James Dunne to discuss the Better Farming for Water campaign.

Pat explains what the Better Farming for Water campaign aims to achieve, why a catchment approach has been taken and the practical actions dairy farmers can take to make a difference.

Concepts such as nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen surplus, stocking rate and how all of these interact with water quality are also discussed.
