HOW WILL AGRICULTURE, HORTICULTURE AND SILVICULTURE ACTIVITIES BE CARRIED OUT IN SUSTAINABLE PRINCIPLES TO CERTIFIED STANDARDS?
At present 90 acres of Derryduff farm has been laid down to the Rural Environment Protection Scheme, our consulting REP’s planner is a certified ecologist, guaranteeing the highest standard of ecological compliance. A further 43 acres of land has been planted out to a diverse woodland, planted and governed for the next five years by “Green Belt Ltd.” This has been funded and granted by a government scheme, where strict compliance with ecological requirements must be observed before funding is paid. An area of 10 acres in total will be dedicated to the growing of organic vegetables and fruit for the consumption of those visiting and living on the land.
