Programme
The Farming For Nature Festival offers a full day of practical, hands-on learning for farmers at all stages. Running from 9:30am to 6:30pm, the programme is divided across multiple learning spaces. All this will be followed by a social fireside chat into the evening.
The festival begins with a solstice-inspired evening event on 22 June, with speakers, food, fire and music — a chance to connect, reflect and celebrate the links between farming, nature and the food we grow.
FESTIVAL SPEAKERS 2026
We’re delighted to welcome a diverse group of speakers to the Farming for Nature Festival 2026. Our line-up brings together farmers, researchers and advisors who are working on the ground to explore what’s working on farms to build resilience and how to make nature pay.
Throughout the day, they will share real experiences, practical ideas and honest reflections about what’s working, what’s not, and where the opportunities lie for farming with nature.
We are delighted to work with BASE Ireland in supporting this event. Their partnership helps strengthen the learning experience and community connections at the heart of the gathering.
Our festival programme is building around the real challenges and opportunities facing farmers today — balancing productivity, profitability and nature. We’ll be tackling soil health, biodiversity, water, resilience and farm finance, with practical ideas that work across all systems and scales. More details coming soon!
