Agriland - Field Exchange festival celebrates climate-friendly agriculture
A new festival, ‘Field Exchange’, which is bringing farmers, artists, food producers, agri-experts and the wider community together, was launched at Brookfield Farm, Co. Tipperary.
Field Exchange festival, which is part of a wider two-year project on creative agriculture, climate and biodiversity, will be held on the Brookfield shores of Lough Derg, Co. Tipperary, on Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1 from 12:00p.m to 5:00p.m each day.
Taking place on Brookfield Farm, an award-winning organic farm and a conservation area for the native Irish honey bee, the festival is the brainchild of the farmer, beekeeper and teacher who runs Brookfield Farm, Ailbhe Gerrard.
"The wider project is structured around the two annual festivals and includes a series of one-day workshops, discussions and hands-on activities building a community of farmers to integrate the vision and creativity of artists into sustainable farming practices and habitat enhancement."
