Feeding Ourselves Local Food Symposium
2025-10-30 14:00 - 21:00
Link to book – https://www.ticketsource.com/feasta/feeding-ourselves-local-food-symposium/2025-10-30/14:00/t-dvypmle

Regent House, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, D02 EV57

Thursday 30 October 2025 2:00PM

How can we better support local food producers and nourish communities through stronger local food economies in Ireland? The Feeding Ourselves Local Food Symposium will bring together diverse sectors to nurture collaboration, highlight the vital connections between agriculture, nutrition, and public health, and explore the potential of public procurement and community wealth building principles as powerful levers to support local producers and enhance community wellbeing.
Together, we will explore practical ways to support farmers and local food producers, advance key policy proposals—including a Basic Income—and showcase innovative practices that deliver for climate resilience, biodiversity, health, and sustainable livelihoods.
The Symposium will be followed by a screening of ‘Farming is Medicine’ and a buffet from Cornucopia at 18.00 – 21.00 in Regent House, Trinity College Dublin. The thought-provoking short film features physician, activist, writer and recently appointed Trinity School of Medicine Adjunct Professor of Land, Food and Medicine, Rupa Marya. The film explores the deep connections between farming, health and community. The screening will be followed by a conversation with Professor Marya and researcher Dr. Ollie Moore, and includes a relaxed buffet meal. This can be booked as a standalone event or together with a ticket for the Symposium.
Sliding scale tickets & free tickets for farmers – when you are selecting your tickets you have the option to pay the recommended rate, or less, or more. We want to ensure that everyone is able to participate in this event. A funded project or commercial entities paying a higher fee will allow for unfunded or community groups to take part in the Symposium. One of the core aims of the Strengthening Local Food Economies project is to research and promote the role of local food producers in the wider sustainable/wellbeing economy. We want to have strong farmer representation at the symposium and thus invite farmers to join free of charge. If you are a farmer, select the free ticket category.
This event is organised by Feasta, Talamh Beo & Cultivate in collaboration with Trinity Sustainability, the Open Food Network Ireland, Food Policy Ireland, Bohemian FC Spark Project, Deep Medicine Circle, EU4Advice, CODECS, and more to be announced. It is being held through the Feeding Ourselves Community of Practice as part of the ‘Strengthening Local Food Economies’ project supported by the Irish Environmental Network.

Talamh Óg is an emerging group of young farmers, landworkers, environmentalists, and eaters working to build a just and sustainable agri-food system. We are committed to food sovereignty, or the right to food that is healthy, local, sustainable, and democratically produced. Decent work for farmers and decent food for all!
At the winter school, we’ll explore alternative pathways for young people in Irish food and farming. How can we, as a growing movement, build a food system that places power back in the hands of people and our communities? We’ll explore these questions through member-led workshops, get to know each other over a shared lunch, and end our day with a seed swap!
Time: 10:00-16:00 on Sunday, 23 Nov. Optional pints afterwards.
Location: Mullingar Arts Centre
Access: train (10 min to station), bus (5 min to Castle St), or parking for €3 daily
Registration: required but free (use this survey to register)
Please bring: yourself, a lunch dish to share, seeds to swap

Radical Agrarian Reading Group
2025-11-30 19:00 - 21:00
Last Sunday of each month.
The challenges of revolutionizing our food system into one which is just and sustainable are huge, and the issues highly complex. Solutions are already being developed and reading about them will help learn lessons from what has and hasn’t worked elsewhere, provide a foundation for moving forwards, and allow us to strategise more effectively to produce the necessary system change. The Reading Group is open to growers, farmers, activists, researchers and food system professionals, and will meet monthly, on the last Sunday evening of each month (7-9pm).
Email Barry Ferguson at ferguson.barry@gmail.com for more information.
