Strengthening Local Food Economies – June 25
Webinar | Held on Tuesday 10th June
How Policies & Pathways Can Better Support Ireland’s Local Food Producers
This Feeding Ourselves webinar asked: what would it take for local food producers to finally get the support they deserve?

Jo Poulton of the Landworkers’ Alliance (UK) shared insights from the Basic Income for Farmers (BI4Farmers) campaign.
