![]() ![]() By making these changes and others, the Signpost Farmers can and will reduce emissions while maintaining profitability. Changes such as getting better value from nutrients in cattle slurry, using protected urea as their source of fertiliser nitrogen, incorporating clover in grassland swards, reducing overall amount of chemical fertiliser nitrogen applied, enhancing and improving biodiversity and hedgerows and reducing finishing age of animals finished on their farms. We will work with the Signpost Farmers to enable them change how they farm, so that they reduce the emissions from agriculture on their farm while maintaining and improving profitability. The Signpost Farmers will be central to the Signpost Programme and will point the way forward for all farmers to a climate smart farming future. Tom O'Dwyer, Signpost Programme Manager tells us how together we will work with Irish farmers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce ammonia emissions, reduce nutrient losses, enhance biodiversity, save farmer costs and improve the efficiency of food production. The Signpost Programme is a partnership of over 30 companies and organisations from across the Irish agricultural sector. In this short clip, Frank O'Mara, Director of Research at Teagasc tells us more. We have the science and technology to reduce emissions, we have the whole industry aligned and wanting to make progress and we have the Signpost farmers willing to adopt these technologies and point the way forward. The Signpost Programme has been launched to help tackle climate change, the greatest environmental challenge of our time and one that threatens the favourable climate we have for agriculture in Ireland. Agriculture in Ireland is responsible for about 35% of greenhouse gas emissions and now is the time to show that we can reduce those emissions and contribute to solving the climate issue. Globally, customers want to buy food with a low environmental footprint and as a country that exports 90% of our main products we have a need to produce food with a low environmental footprint. _ Why do we need The Signpost Programme?įarmers farm first and foremost to make a living but we all have a duty to care for our environment.

The webinar gave attendees the opportunity to learn more about the programme along with meeting some of the participating Signpost Farmers. Hosted by RTÉ’s Ear to the Ground presenter Helen Carroll, the online webinar demonstrated how the new Teagasc led collaborative programme will support Irish farmers in reducing emissions from agriculture. The Signpost Programme was launched on Tuesday, 18 May. Botanic Gardens College of HorticultureĪ look back at the official launch of The Signpost Programme.It promotes the European Cooperation on schools in fundamental aptitudes, by supporting the key competence for mathematics. It also contributes to the benchmark for decreasing low-achievers in basic skills (mathematics and science) to 15%. The consortium comprises partners from universities, schools, mathematics associations, foundations, theatre schools, art schools and enterprises.The project activities contribute to the Education and Training 2020 as it is enhancing creativity and innovation among youth. ![]() These methods could be used in other subjects of the education curricula, as well as for other age groups. It will also make learning more attractive and enjoyable for all students and it will strengthen their skills for creative thinking. An approach, that brings new ideas in the context of “play and learn.”This European project developed a new methodology for the learning and teaching of mathematics to students aged between 9 and 18, which subsequently can be used in any school environment. As a result, this project developed different and innovative approaches by inviting teachers and pupils together to apply new communication methods in the learning of mathematics, which could be fun and enjoyable at the same time. Introduction: Many students claim that mathematics is often too abstract and therefore difficult to understand. Le-MATH: Learning Mathematics Through New Communication Factors. ![]()
