About two months ago, we did a programme on the Year of the Women Farmer and we started a discussion then about how making farms more workable for women actually made them better workplaces for everybody, for male, female, young or old.

And at the time, you said, tell us more, please.

So, here we go.

Making Farms Work for Women is a pilot project that's looking at the reality of farming for women and at the challenges that they face.

Over the three-year life of the project, they will be working with 60 women farmers in North Mayo.

Bridget Clark is one of the eight farmers, advisors, educators and community members that have come together to form this pilot project.

And Thrasa Vranach visited her farm in Turlock, outside Castle Bar.

Isn't that interesting?

Making farms work for women is the name of that EIP funded project, which, as we were saying in the programme that we did on the future of the common agricultural policy and the budget changes that were coming there, that EIPs...

Not that one right now that's funded, but EIPs in the future, the funding for those is very much up in the air after 2027, which would be a great pity when you hear what kind of work they're managing to do there.
