Smart Farming Spring Seminar 2021

Restore and Enhance Farmland

The Smart Farming programme is a voluntary resource efficiency programme which focuses on eight key areas that offer the greatest savings to farmers and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at farm level.

The programme aims to save participants €5,000 through introducing resource efficiency measures on their farm, and reduce GHG emissions by 5-7%.
