About GrowIN
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.
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.
