Inishowen Co-Op urging farmers to attend farm sustainability event

Inishowen Co-Op is inviting the community to attend a farm sustainability event on Tuesday, March 7 in the Inishowen Gateway Hotel, Buncrana.

The event is part of a series of information evenings under the Inishowen Co-Op Farm Support Scheme introduced in 2022, designed to help support regional farmers against the rising costs of production.

The farm sustainability event will be the third information evening under the scheme aimed at delivering more information on sustainable agriculture including organic seaweed fertilisers and renewable energy projects suitable for rural farming businesses, farm buildings and households.

Speakers on the night include: Andy Mc Shea (Tully House Organic Farm); Barry Sharkey (North West PV); Caroline Ashe (Commercial Director – KORE Insulation).

The installation of all projects through the KORE ‘One-Stop-Shop’ Service in the North-West is carried out by Brendan Donaghey (B. Donaghey & Sons Ltd) who will introduce KORE Insulation on the night and give a brief summary of what is involved in the ‘One-Stop-Shop’ with some examples of projects completed in the area.

The event is open to everyone and although it will feature farm sustainability it will also include information suitable for rural households and older farmhouses, which may be suitable for grant approval through The SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland).

The event takes place 8pm.
