The first-ever National Farming for Nature Festival brought together over 800 attendees, including farmers, scientists, policymakers, and community leaders, for two incredible days of celebration, connection, and knowledge sharing.

From inspiring panel discussions and live demonstrations to organic networking under the sun, this event highlighted the essential role of farmers in restoring, conserving, and protecting Ireland's rich biodiversity while building resilient agricultural systems for the future.

As Brendan Dunford beautifully captured: it was all about finding your tribe, learning from the ground up, and working together across the island.

A massive thank you to our funders, contributing partners, key partners (BASE Ireland, NOTS), and to all our incredible speakers, exhibitors, volunteers, and FFN team, and anyone who made this landmark first edition a sold-out success! A special thank you to our main funders (Shared Island and Life2Good) for making this dream a reality.
