Living Lab Devenish Lands

Project: 
EU4ADVICE
Description: 

The Devenish Lands at Dowth is an internationally-recognised research farm dedicated to developing sustainable agriculture solutions and promoting human health through nutrition. It has been designated as an International Lighthouse Farm, i.e. a farm that is leading the way to sustainable food production, by Wageningen University in the Netherlands, the top university for studying agriculture in Europe.

The Devenish Lands at Dowth is a 30 minute drive from Dublin airport. It lies within the Brú na Bóinne UNESCO World Heritage Site in County Meath. The Neolithic monuments of this area were built 5,500 years ago by some of Ireland’s first farming communities – our first colleagues in farming, food and health innovation. The Devenish Lands of Dowth is an inspirational landscape to showcase our ambitious strategy “One Health from Soil to Society” to deliver nutritious and sustainably produced food.
