A west Clare community group has been awarded almost €2 million by the Department of Agriculture to carry out a sustainable farming project. Loop Head Together CLG has been awarded €1.75 million to conduct a soil carbon enhancement project to determine the feasibility of restoring soil health in coastal farming regions of Ireland. It forms part of an overall investment of €17.8 million in eleven projects under the European Innovation Partnership, which forms part of the Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan. Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Tulla Fianna Fáil Deputy Timmy Dooley, says the Loop Head project will help develop better practices nationwide while aiding in hitting sustainability targets.
