We are inviting farmers, landowners, or other agribusiness stakeholders to the launch of the SOILCRATES Living Lab at the Deebert House Hotel in Kilmallock on April 8th at 8 p.m. Attendees will learn how they can participate in restoring and preserving local soil quality.
The Living Lab’s main objectives include addressing soil health issues like nitrogen overuse and poor drainage, introducing innovative practices like biochar application, intercropping with nitrogen-fixing plants, and community-oriented events.
