On Friday morning, February 27, Teagasc invites you to participate in its highly popular Signpost Webinar series, which will explore attractive options for agroforestry - the beneficial integration of trees and farming on the same land parcels. Tom Houlihan of the Teagasc Forestry Department tells us more.
Each Friday morning from 9.30 to 10.30 am, the highly engaging Teagasc Signpost Webinars provide key knowledge and insights to a wide and dedicated audience on sustainable agriculture across Ireland and beyond.
Next Friday, February 27, this webinar will highlight the range of opportunities offered by Agroforestry, with speakers including Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine with responsibility for Forestry, Horticulture and Farm Safety, Michael Healy-Rae TD, progressive sheep and tillage farmer, Brian Nicholson and experienced Teagasc advisors in both agriculture and forestry.
Friday’s webinar will see the launch of a video highlighting Brian Nicholson’s Agroforestry Journey and the pathway of taking his newly established agroforestry from concept to fruition. It will provide plenty of insights on this dynamic approach to integrated farming which can deliver multiple benefits, achieving a blend of economic, environmental and practical objectives.
The webinar will cover the attractive complementary alignment between agroforestry supports and many other farm payments. It will also incorporate a live panel discussion with the opportunities for questions to be submitted to the panel during the webinar.
Why not take the opportunity to join in at 9.30 on Friday morning next February 27 to hear about agroforestry which is garnering strong interest levels as an integrated land use option.
