I am an agronomy researcher in an established integrated research and advisory programme established in 2009 in Ireland to monitor the Nitrates Action Programme across six meso catchments. I am interested in using our current instrumentation and infrastructure to address the criteria outlined in this call. Specifically I am interested in the incorporation of multispecies swards and grass biorefinery to address the challenges of GHG reduction, carbon monitoring and nutrient loss in a mixed arable and grassland farming agricultural catchment.
