Negotiating a cultural narrative for the development of the bioeconomy with rural communities in Ireland (BioCultúr)

Build on a cultural narrative to implement a programme that will enhance rural awareness & knowledge of the bioeconomy and connect isolated, rural communities with the bioeconomy through cultural, heritage and lifestyle perspectives, while delivering tangible community-based (local) employment opportunities. Jamie: BioCultúr embodies a concerted effort to bridge disciplinary boundaries, foster transdisciplinary collaboration, and empower stakeholders to embrace a holistic vision of sustainability that acknowledges the intrinsic connections between culture, language, heritage, and the transformative potential of bioeconomy strategies. This research seeks to unearth valuable insights that can inform policy formulation, educational strategies, and community engagement initiatives aimed at fostering a more resilient and equitable bioeconomy.PI: Tom Curran, Maire Nic an Bhaird, Laoise Ní Chléirigh, Staff:
