Teagasc signpost farm collaboration

Bord Bia is proud to partner with Teagasc, farmers, and the wider industry on the Signpost Farms initiative. This Teagasc led initiative is a collaborative programme to lead climate action by Irish farmers and the transition towards more sustainable farming systems. A key outcome of this initiative is that the industry as a whole will be aligned in our support and recommendations to farmers on the implementation of environmental measures on-farm and demonstrate new solutions. A range of measures which farmers can take to reduce emissions is provided by the Bord Bia Farmer Feedback Report and it is anticipated that learnings from these Signpost Farms will inform the development of the feedback report and other Bord Bia programmes into the future.
