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?
Despite growing interest in sustainable food, Ireland’s local food economies remain largely invisible in national agri-food strategies. This session explored why that is—and how we can change it.
Jo Poulton of the Landworkers’ Alliance (UK) shared insights from the Basic Income for Farmers (BI4Farmers) campaign.
