Our ReFarm Community
Connecting farmers, funders, and partners to strengthen nature-friendly farming.
Connecting farmers, funders, and partners to strengthen nature-friendly farming.
Farmers are at the heart of ReFarm’s model. As stewards of most of Ireland’s lane, they are critical to restoring biodiversity at scale.
Through ReFarm, farmers lead the design and delivery of nature-friendly actions on their own land, supported by fair funding, practical guidance and independent research.
ReFarm is made possible by the trust, commitment and long-term vision of a diverse group of funders supporting both on-farm actions and independent research. Our blended finance model combines:
This diversity helps create a more resilient model with shared incentives across sectors. We are deeply grateful for their support.
ReFarm is made up of a small number of trusted partners, combining independent research, strong farmer networks and professional expertise.
Trinity College Dublin provides independent evidence-based research.
Farming for Nature and Burrenbeo Trust bring long-standing relationships with farmers and proven delivery models.
DLA Piper provides legal and governance support on a pro bono basis.
ReFarm seeks to bridge the gap between farmers, funders, researchers and public bodies around finance and practical action for nature.
We regularly convene stakeholders, from farming, corporate, academic, financial, and government sectors, to share learnings and explore how private finance can complement public funding for nature restoration.
Key insight from our stakeholder engagement (Stakeholder Workshop, April 2025): “There is urgency to act, as ongoing biodiversity loss and climate pressures demand practical, systems-based solutions tested through real-world pilots like ReFarm.”
By combining on-the-ground action with shared learning, ReFarm accelerates solutions for a resilient, nature-friendly future.
