Description

WUC SUAS Clg is a subsidiary company of Wicklow Uplands Council (WUC) with the sole object to implement the Sustainable Uplands Agri-environment Scheme (SUAS) funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine under the European Innovation Partnerships Initiative that is part of their Rural Development Programme 2014-2020. The new and innovative SUAS pilot will develop and evaluate a practical, stakeholder led and bottom up, scheme to address the complex agricultural, environmental and socio-economic challenges associated with the land management of the Wicklow/Dublin uplands. It will be achieved by building the capacity of the farmers and stakeholders to share their collective knowledge in a common language and take on a new leadership role in the development and implementation of an agri-environment scheme.
