Let's Go Green with Aisling O'Rourke
Monday, 14 September 2026 - 47 minutes
As thousands of people prepare to head to the National Ploughing Championships, this week on Let’s Go Green we’re asking how Irish farming can adapt to a changing climate.
Alex White, Chairperson of the Climate Change Advisory Council, joins me to discuss the Council’s call for greater support for farmers to diversify, and why helping farming communities adapt is an important part of Ireland’s response to climate change.
I’m also joined by Anna Browne of Big Sky Flowers to talk about our own patches of green. Anna shares practical advice on creating a more resilient garden that can cope with changing conditions while providing valuable support for biodiversity.
And with the National Ploughing Championships kicking off tomorrow, I’ll have some practical tips to help you make the most of your visit.
Tune in every Monday night at 7 pm on Midlands 103 or listen back on your preferred podcast platform.
