The Teagasc Agri-environment Conference 2010 will take place on the 7th of September in Ballykisteen Hotel, Tipperary. The conference will provide a forum for those working in agri-environmental arena to receive an update on the most topical environmental issues affecting agriculture in Ireland.

This is a departure from previous conferences (formerly known as the National REPS Conference) in the sense that discussions will not be limited to agri-environmental schemes. The Conference will focus on practical outcomes from current agri-environment research, advisory experience as well as examining policy drivers and their potential impacts.

This year’s event will comprise an indoor conference in the morning followed by a farm walk on the Solohead Research Farm in the afternoon. The morning conference will hear from experts on environmental research and policy while the afternoon farm walk will consist of a number of stations located on the Solohead Research Farm which will provide delegates with a practical insight into the work carried out by Teagasc Environmental Programme.
