Launch of ReFarm Project [Video]

The ReFarm pilot project will see businesses fund the creation and management of wildlife ponds, hedgerows, and species-rich grasslands on Irish farms.

ReFarm is a collaboration between Trinity College Dublin, Burrenbeo Trust and local and international businesses. The project aims to make ‘farming for nature’ sustainable and scalable for farmers and provide businesses with an opportunity to fund nature-positive actions on Irish farms in a way that can be reported under new EU sustainability reporting directives. The project will also incorporate a research programme to examine long-term funding structures for businesses to invest in nature-positive actions on Irish farms.

ReFarm co-founders Brendan Dunford, Anke Heydenreich and Martha O’Hagan explain how farmers, industry and research are going to work together on this project to make farming for nature sustainable and scalable for farmers, and provide business with an opportunity to fund nature-positive actions in Ireland.
