The BRIDE Project (Biodiversity Regeneration In a Dairying Environment) is an innovative environmental initiative based in the River Bride catchment area of northeast County Cork and West Waterford, Ireland. Funded by the European Union and the Irish Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine through the European Innovation Partnership (EIP), the project aims to conserve, enhance, and restore natural habitats in intensively farmed lowland areas. Using a results-based approach, the project collected baseline farm data and used key performance indicators to track improvements in biodiversity. The final report highlights the project's outcomes and the valuable lessons learned along the way. The BRIDE Project demonstrates how collaboration, innovation, and a strong commitment to nature-positive farming practices can drive meaningful change despite limited financial resources. The "Farming with Nature" approach developed by the project can inspire and guide future efforts in sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation, leaving a lasting legacy for the farming community.

FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
This case study is drafting new legislation that allows renting forestland for multiple purposes in order to increase economic efficiency and maintain a balance between all ecosystem services. This Russian case works on regulation mechanisms so that people renting forestland can use it for multiple purposes, and to include ecosystem services in the Forest Code.
It summarises the reports from all Cross Visits. During the Cross Visits the AgriSpin team gradually learned how to capture what really matters in the cases that were visited. It is important that the characteristics in the overview are helpful for: ● deepening the understanding of the individual cases and the effect of particular innovation support actions; ● making comparisons between cases, even though they represent different sectors and cover different types of innovation.
