SPUD 3-D animation, How to make a Lazy Bed, produced by Deirdre O’Mahony and designed by Cian Brennan and features an audio track by Phil Gaston. It is based on information provided by Clare-based farmers, Tom Barry, Tom Keating, Michael Malone and Francis Whelan for SPUD, a simple, effective way of showing how to grow a superfood in small spaces, a test of the effectiveness of cultural activism in transferring place-based, tacit knowledge to urban populations.

Possibilities for funding:
Cork Examiner 14/04/2017

The Government has announced a €20m fund under its Action Plan for Rural Development aimed at supporting “measures which have a clear economic impact on rural towns and villages”, writes Joe Leogue.

The scheme will allow towns and villages with populations of fewer than 10,000 people apply to their local council for funding of between €20,000 and €100,000 for projects that foster partnerships between the community and local businesses.

Funding will also be available for art works in public spaces, while a higher maximum of €200,000 will be considered “for a limited number of projects where a strong case can be made demonstrating exceptionally strong economic benefit to a town and its outlying areas”.
