Results-based agri-environment scheme

 

To address the issues of excessive nutrient run-off from agricultural land and the ongoing conversion of land to improved grassland, a pilot Results Based Agri-environment Payments Scheme will be developed, working with local farmers to produce tailored farm plans for all participating farms.

 

The project Farm Advisor and Surface Water Scientist will work closely with local farmers, DAFM, Teagasc, LAWPro, and other agencies, in the design, implementation, and administration of this pilot scheme.
