A novel project has assisted ten farmers in your locality to make ‘digital’ stories on their Carbery Greener Dairy experience and what sustainability means to them. Now we’d like to share them with you and see what you think.

The project is a partnership between Carbery Group, Macroom E, the EPA and UCC and is part of a PhD in social science that Maeve Bowen, General Manager of Macroom E is undertaking. Through the stories we are trying to find out what motivates farmers to adopt environmentally friendly practices.

We believe this research to be very beneficial to both Carbery and the Co-op. If you complete the surveys, you will receive a 20% discount to the online Farmers Journal and also be entered into a draw for 4 x digital subscriptions to the Farmers Journal!
