[H1] Better Farming for Water
[H2] 8-Actions for Change
The ‘Better Farming for Water‘ campaign is a national campaign aiming to support and accelerate the adoption of actions on all farms to improve all water bodies, where agriculture is a significant pressure, to Good or High ecological status.
[H2]
[H2] Catchment Action Plans
The campaign will initially concentrate on the following eight river catchments: Bandon-Ilen, Barrow, Blackwater, Boyne, Lee, Nore, Slaney and Suir. Each of the initial eight river catchments will have a bespoke plan prepared to provide a pathway to deliver water quality improvements.

[H2] Context
In 2024, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue T.D., requested Teagasc to lead a multi-actor water quality advisory campaign to deliver clear, simple and positive messaging to enhance farmers’, as well as the broader agri-food industry’s understanding of the agriculture pressures on water quality and the need for improvement. As a result of this request, Teagasc has developed the document ‘Better Farming for Water’ to guide the campaign, which can be found here (PDF).
Agriculture in Ireland has a significant role to play in helping the country to achieve good water quality targets as set by the Water Framework Directive. However, farmers require technical support to increase their understanding of the impacts of farming on water quality and the actions to minimise the losses of nutrients, sediment and pesticides to water bodies. The ‘Better Farming for Water’ campaign will build on existing water quality programmes such as ACP, ACRES, ASSAP, Farming for Water EIP, Waters of LIFE, Blue Dot Catchments, Slaney project (and others) to improve water quality. The multi-actor (farmers, advisors/researchers, agri-food industry, community, government) approach to support farmers will ensure that challenges and solutions to address local water quality are delivered at farm, catchment and regional scale. This campaign is part of a wider whole-of-government approach to improve water quality.
[H2] Aim and Objectives
The aim of the ‘Better Farming for Water’ campaign is to support and accelerate the adoption of actions on all farms to improve all water bodies (where agriculture is a significant pressure) to Good or High Ecological Status.
The objective of the ‘Better Farming for Water’ campaign is to support all farmers to reduce the loads of nitrogen, phosphate, sediment and pesticides entering our river network through either diffuse or point source pathways from agricultural sources. This will involve targeting three critical management areas, namely:  1) Nutrient management; 2) Farmyard Management and 3) Land Management.
This will be achieved through the on-farm adoption of the following 8-Actions for Change:
Nutrient Management
Reduced purchased nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) surplus per hectare
Ensure soil fertility is optimal for lime, phosphorus and potassium
Ensure application of fertiliser and organic manure at appropriate times and conditions
Farmyard Management
Have sufficient slurry and soiled water storage capacity
Manage and minimise nutrient loss from farmyards and roadways
Land Management
Fence off watercourses to prevent bovine access
Promote targeted use of mitigation actions such as riparian margins, buffer strips and sediment traps to mitigate nutrient and sediment loss to water
Maintain over-winter green cover to reduce nutrient leaching from tillage soils

[H3] Jack Perry - AIDE: Improving the management of aphids and barley yellow dwarf virus
Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) is a major threat to Irish cereal production, spread by aphids and causing significant yield losses. My project focused on developing more sustainable management strategies as reliance on insecticides becomes less viable. Through a nationwide aphid monitoring programme involving growers across Ireland, the research evaluated different monitoring tools as early-warning systems to predict BYDV risk. The project also assessed tolerant barley varieties, decision support tools and management practices such as delayed sowing. This research supports more effective, sustainable approaches to protect crops and improve food security.

[H3] Luke Barnes - The impact of peat-free compost alternatives on the physical, nutritional and sensory quality of Brassica
With a move towards peat-free horticulture, understanding how alternative growing media affect crop quality is essential. My project investigated how peat-free composts used during the nursery stage influence the growth, yield and quality of Brassica crops such as kale. The research focused on glucosinolates, compounds linked to both health benefits and taste, to determine how growing media impact flavour and nutritional value. Using field and glasshouse trials alongside predictive modelling, the study identified key properties of high-quality peat alternatives. This research supports the development of sustainable growing media that maintain crop quality while meeting environmental targets.

[H3] Jake Delaney - Epidemiology and impact of ovine infectious lameness in Irish flocks
Lameness is a significant animal welfare and productivity issue in sheep systems, yet limited information previously existed on its prevalence and impact in Irish flocks. My project examined the occurrence of infectious lameness, the ability of farmers to identify lesions, and the treatment and prevention measures used on farms. Through a national farmer survey and studies on BETTER Farm Sheep Programme flocks, the research also measured the effect of lameness on ewe and lamb performance. This research will support the development of evidence-based control strategies to improve flock health, animal welfare and farm productivity.

[H3] Helena Walsh - Transitioning to low chemical nitrogen dairy systems in the border, midland and western region of Ireland
Reducing chemical nitrogen fertiliser use is a key challenge for Irish dairy farming under evolving environmental regulations. My project evaluated the transition from perennial ryegrass systems to perennial ryegrass-white clover swards on heavier soils in the border, midland and western region of Ireland. White clover can naturally fix nitrogen, reducing the need for fertiliser inputs. Over a four-year systems trial in Ballyhaise, the research assessed animal performance, grass production and purchased nitrogen inputs under different concentrate feeding levels. The findings will help farmers adopt lower nitrogen dairy systems while maintaining productivity and improving environmental sustainability.

[H3] Izuchukwu Martin Aroh - Low Emission (LE) Farms: strategies to monitor and reduce ammonia emissions in Irish finishing pig farms
Ammonia emissions are a major environmental challenge for Ireland, contributing to air pollution and biodiversity loss. My project examined practical strategies to monitor and reduce ammonia emissions from commercial finishing pig farms. The research compared different ammonia measurement technologies, developed real-time monitoring approaches, and identified key environmental factors influencing emissions. Among the mitigation measures assessed, reducing crude protein levels in diets delivered the greatest reduction in ammonia without affecting pig performance. This research provides practical, science-based solutions to help Irish pig farmers improve sustainability and meet national emissions targets.

[H3] Zuo Song - Assessing the potential of sustainably grown Irish plant proteins in meat products and plant-based analogue alternatives
The shift towards more sustainable diets is driving interest in alternative protein sources. My research investigated the use of Irish-grown plant proteins to partially replace meat in hybrid products, offering a balance between traditional meat and fully plant-based alternatives. The study examined how these plant proteins affect texture, structure, digestibility, sensory quality and shelf-life when incorporated into meat products. By optimising formulations using both powdered and extruded plant proteins, the research demonstrated that high-quality, nutritionally balanced hybrid products can be developed without compromising consumer appeal. This research supports sustainable food innovation and the use of locally grown crops within Ireland’s agri-food sector.

Cured meat products are a staple of the Irish diet, but concerns around health, environmental impact and the use of nitrites are driving demand for alternatives. My research examined the sensory quality and consumer acceptance of meatless and nitrite-free cured meat products, including ham, bacon and sausages. Using a combination of sensory evaluation, consumer trials and behavioural analysis, the study explored how factors such as taste, perception, food neophobia and meat attachment influence food choice. It also assessed how health and sustainability information shapes consumer decisions. This research provides valuable insights to support food innovation, industry reformulation and more sustainable dietary transitions.

[H3] Saeed Shahabi Ahangarkolaee - Modelling the cost-effectiveness of implementing novel technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across Irish farm systems
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture depends not only on available technologies but also on farmer adoption. My research investigated how Irish dairy farmers adopt mitigation measures such as protected urea, liming and clover-based swards, and how this uptake spreads over time. Using farmer survey data and the Teagasc National Farm Survey, the project developed an agent-based model to simulate adoption behaviour, incorporating economic factors, attitudes and peer influence. The study also assessed the cost-effectiveness of these measures using a marginal abatement cost approach. This research supports more targeted policies and advisory strategies to accelerate emissions reductions while maintaining farm viability.
