Community Farming in NI

What is community farming? It is a ‘process of collaborative transformation at the intersection of land, community, and enter­prise’.

The article was written by Jonny Hanson (QUB), Tiziana O’Hara (Co-op Alternatives), Ciaran Collins (CiCO Consulting) and Matthew Williams (Jubilee Farm).
