Farmers working together to drive innovation in agriculture

About the GrowIN pilot
Northern Ireland farmer-led innovation
We are a network of farmers in Northern Ireland who believe that agriculture can lead the way in tackling the food, climate, nature and health crises facing society. We are a farmer-led movement focused on working together, helping each other, sharing stories, ideas and knowledge to drive innovation.
This is a trial run to see if there is an appetite amongst farmers and farming organisations in Northern Ireland to work together in a positive and collaborative way to drive innovation.
We are particularly interested in soil health, biological farming systems, carbon, agroforestry, regenerative grazing, sustainable livestock systems and increasing crop and horticultural production.
Before farming is forced to change, let's make it a force for change.
