NOTS are delighted to be continuing our partnership with Ballymaloe Cookery School, Organic Farm and Gardens to provide a half-day course in Agroforestry with Clive Bright of Rare Ruminare.

This course is suitable for anyone considering introducing agroforestry – merging trees with agriculture – on their farm. Clive Bright says of agroforestry – “Woodland pasture or silvopasture is the ideal habitat for livestock, providing shelter and shade and a source of additional nutrients. Trees over pasture add another level of green leaves multiplying the amount of solar energy the land captures; this enhances the mineral and water cycle and restores soil health, bolsters biodiversity and the overall resilience and productivity of the farm”

Lunch at the world famous Ballymaloe Cookery School will ensure you’re all set for a great day of learning.
