‘Field Exchange - is about bringing people together to support creativity, agriculture and address climate change’ - Ailbhe Gerrard

Presented on Brookfield Farm on the shores of Lough Derg, Co Tipperary by farmer and climate ambassador Ailbhe Gerrard - Field Exchange is an initiative that welcomed 30, farmers, food producers, experts, interested public and artists coming together at exchange tables on Brookfield Farm, facilitated by National Organic Training Skillnets.  The Exchanges were further contextualised and amplified by Model Plot, a sculptural planting by artist Deirdre O’Mahony in collaboration with the Loy Association of Ireland. Artist John Gerrard contributed a unique presentation of his simulation titled Corn Work (Corrib).  The work is physically present in the farm barn upon a sculptural Exchange Table designed by the artist in dialogue with Elements of Action. Field Exchange engages vision, knowledge and practical action to come together to solve our urgent challenges in agriculture, biodiversity and climate.
