I had the great honour of participating in the well-organized Women in Agriculture Stakeholders Group Seminar yesterday, which offered plenty of insightful discussions and learning opportunities. The depth and breadth of knowledge shared by both panels were a real testament to the organisers' efforts. I was proud to share the story of our Irish Organic Association farm. Thank you, Gillian Westbrook, for inviting me to be part of such a successful event. 👏 Being an Irish Ambassador for the FLIARA Project has helped me rediscover my voice and rebuild the confidence to share my experiences, as well as highlight the incredible opportunities available for women in Irish agriculture.

DG-AGRI - Policy Debate and Discussion. I was delighted to have had the opportunity to present the FLIARA Project Project, alongside my project partners, to several DG AGRI Units at the European Commission on Tuesday. Our presentations sparked a comprehensive discussion on the policy ideas emerging from the project. It was an incredibly positive experience, with wonderful feedback from DG AGRI, which continues to show strong support for women-led innovation in agriculture and rural development! Sincere thanks to our FLIARA Ambassador Ursula Kelly for attending and presenting her journey as a rural entrepreneur.
