Welcome to Feeding Ourselves 2026! This is our annual gathering, one which serves a growing Community of Practice of local food producers and organisers, community food advocates, agri-food and land-use researchers, food justice campaigners, Short Food Supply Chain (SFSC) advisors and local food facilitators.

Held each year in Cloughjordan since 2011, the gathering brings people from across the island of Ireland and beyond to strategise, network and build collective capacity in food sovereignty, agroecology and local food economies.

Together, we work to strengthen resilient local food systems and support a just transition — where farmers everywhere can thrive, where everyone has access to healthy, appropriate local food, where meaningful progress is made toward ecological regeneration and community wellbeing, and where food and justice are two parts of a whole.

Feeding Ourselves the gathering takes place in the WeCreate Centre, in the heart of the Ecovillage and where the Community Farm’s Food Hub. (it’s at E53 VP86 in north Tipperary, on the trainline)

There are 4 full days of activities – see below for day by day details. There are also lots of evening fringe events happening on site, with our ecovillage and farm partners, and others. Our 2026 fringe programme includes a film, a forage, decolonial and other walks, the legendary speakEATsy food music and dancing event with Cloughjordan Community Farm, a farm tour and poster displays. Our film screening this year is On my Land with farmer and film maker Mamhoud Zwahre zooming in from the West Bank for post film conversation.

We have a number of different ways then, to engage your mind, body and soul on the fringes of this year’s Feeding Ourselves – and in the main day time event too…
