As Ireland shifts towards a low-carbon future, many projects across the wider midlands have been working alongside local communities to help them with the economic transition away from commercial peat production.

The EU Just Transition Fest, which took place in Castletown Geoghegan, Co. Longford, served as a day of celebration for these initiatives which have been backed by the EU Just Transition Fund.

Agriland spoke to the project leaders at the event to gain an insight into how the fund is facilitating a greener, more sustainable future for the midlands.
