Agricultural Catchments
Better water quality and supporting the production of high-quality food are the twin aims of the ACP. Funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and run by Teagasc, for ten years staff have been working with 300 farmers across six catchments in Ireland. The team hosts a major conference every four years and this year's theme is 'Achieving quality water in diverse and productive agricultural landscapes under a changing climate.'
