Accounting for acres: land, data, and accountability in Ireland

The concept of establishing a land observatory in Ireland has recently gained significant momentum. Envisioned as a data-driven platform to monitor and inform land-related policy, the initiative is being actively advanced by the Irish land observatory stakeholders group. The group are currently working to secure a pilot land observatory in Ireland, in collaboration with Access to Land Europe—a network dedicated to safeguarding land for small-scale farming.
