We caught up with Fiona Doolan at today’s Farming for a Better Future 2026 Open Day in Teagasc Johnstown Castle to find out more about what measures farmers can take to help reduce the loss of nutrient from the farm and ultimately to protect local water quality.
Soil types are important when it comes to nutrients and how they’re lost from your farm. It’s important to look to local water quality and to know what water quality is like in your local area. It’s important to know what nutrients that we use on the farm that can cause a problem if they end up in our local water quality.
