€2.2 million funding for two peatland projects has been announced by the Minister of State for land use and biodiversity Pippa Hackett.
The project will be aimed at “finding better ways” to manage on-farm peat soils in the midlands.
The two projects were selected following an open call under the European Innovation Partnerships Initiative (EIP) and will be funded under Ireland’s Rural Development Programme.
Additional funding for a Rural Development Programme was announced at Budget 2021 for the period of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) transition.
The two projects that were selected for the funding are operated by Wetland Surveys Ireland and Green Restoration Ireland.
