I am a Civil and Environmental Engineering student in University College Cork (UCC). I am from Limerick but study in Cork. After my degree I am interested in pursuing a masters degree in Sustainable Energy.
I was raised on a farm that my father inherited. While farming isn't my father's main profession, he has reverted back to agriculture in his retirement. I would like to think that I might some day do the same when he is gone.
Our land is very wet. Ireland has a very high annual rainfall. The land has a high clay content and retains water. My master plan is to drain said land and transform it into useable, diverse farm land. I would like to reinstate ecosystems and make it a completely self sufficient and self sustainable property.
