Shifting Perspectives: Long-Term Holistic Thinking for Marginal Farms
Channel: 3LM - Land and Livestock Management for Life
Date: 2020-01-21

Imagine having 117 acres over 5 different sites and almost 3 metres of annual rainfall. How would you knit together a viable business model? How do you keep it all going?

Listen to this informative and lively session with John Duffy, of An Caora Dubh [Pron: “An-Keera-Duv”, The Black Sheep], a sheep farm in the mountains of Donegal, Ireland. The enterprise aims to build upon traditional farming practices and create a bio-diverse and productive system by working with nature rather than against it.

Hear his journey; attempting to blend holistic management, permaculture and truly regenerative design. He has a great big vision for what's possible and believes it's time to redefine the upland farm model in the West of Ireland.

An engineer by profession, he spent 10 years in oil & gas exploration before turning his attention toward regenerative agriculture.

3LM are offering holistic management training in Donegal, in collaboration with John Duffy, in February 2020, sponsored by National Organic Training Skillnet.
