Living Land

Talamh Beo is a farmer-led movement in Ireland promoting food sovereignty, agroecology and short food supply chains. In a country where agri-food policy is mainly export-oriented and offers little support to small-scale farming, it gives small and medium-scale farmers a voice. The organisation works through bottom-up, consent-based decision-making inspired by sociocracy, with a strong focus on gender balance and a diverse membership of farmers, citizens and organisations. It takes part in lobbying and action days and is connected to national and international movements.
