About Us

The Farming for Nature Festival is a farmer-led celebration of practical, nature-friendly farming.

Our mission is to share real experiences, build connections, and celebrate the people driving positive change across farming, nature, and food. As farmers navigate increasing pressures while being asked to deliver positive outcomes for food, biodiversity, and climate, this festival provides a supportive, practical space to learn from one another and strengthen the growing movement of farmers working with nature.

This is an all-island event, bringing farmers together from North and South to build relationships, exchange knowledge, and strengthen collaboration across the island. It is supported by a cross-border initiative that connects and empowers farmers and their networks to work collectively towards resilient, nature-friendly farming systems, fostering shared learning and leadership at an island-wide scale.

Learning, Connecting, Inspiring

This festival brings together farmers, advisors, and food producers to focus on what works in practice — through hands-on learning, farmer-to-farmer knowledge exchange, and inspiring conversations. It’s a space to learn, connect, and be inspired.

Led by Farming for Nature

We are a national project and farmer network established by the Burrenbeo Trust. The festival highlights positive stories of farmers working with nature. Our core partners, BASE Ireland and the National Organic Training Skillnet (NOTS), play a key role in shaping a programme that is practical, relevant, and solutions-focused.

None of This Would Be Possible Without Support

The Farming for Nature Festival is made possible thanks to the generous support of our funders, key and collaborating partners. Their commitment to nature-friendly farming, collaboration, and community learning allows us to create a space where farmers and the wider public can connect, share knowledge, and be inspired. We extend our sincere thanks for their collaboration, encouragement, and shared commitment to farming in harmony with nature.
