What's possible in the #bioeconomy? Great eg Green Generation producing biomethane gas to feed grid, produce electricity & heat, to run tractors & NPKS bio-based fertiliser, recycled plastic products all from recycled food waste & pkging & pig slurry. MainstreamBIO Project BBioNets

Thanks to Matt O'Keeffe out with Francis nolan🐄 doing a radio interview for KCLR 96FM on what farmers like Francis are doing in regards to water quality - improving soil fertility, using PU, fencing watercourses, adhering to slurry/fert buffer areas, ASSAP etc all covered

Recent meeting and visit of UCD collaborators in Multi4More to our #multi4more field site. We’re testing the relative effects of plant diversity and nitrogen fertiliser application on yield. One harvest remaining for first full year of data! 😁

A great day for the countryside. Glad for a bit of nice snap of harvest weather. 1530 getting it done again this year, somewhere around her 50th harvest.
