Now in its 3rd year, the 2020 National Farming For Nature Ambassador Awards recognised eight outstanding examples of how farming can have a positive impact on our biodiversity and climate. President Higgins wrote to the Farmers ahead of the awards and stressed their importance in addressing biodiversity and climate crises: “Your efforts represent real and tangible forms of active citizenship, contributing to social betterment in so many communities across the country, taking action on crucial ecological issues in order to make a real difference”.
These Ambassadors operate beef, sheep, horticultural and tillage systems and worked with a range of valuable habitats including species-rich grasslands and heaths, wetlands, woodlands and hedgerows. Each one represents an inspiring story around managing this land in a way that sustains nature while remaining productive.
