    The aim of the NI Regional Food Programme is to raise the profile of quality regional food and increase its consumption within Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Great Britain.

    DAERA has developed a new, second strand of the Northern Ireland Regional Food Programme for projects delivering strategic, agri-food sector wide actions affecting all of the Northern Ireland region which will embed and support implementation of the Northern Ireland Food Strategy Framework (available here) and the Food Action Plan (available here). 

    The guidance notes and application form are available to download.

    Important information - The Northern Ireland Regional Food Programme 2025/26 is now closed for applications.

    For further assistance please contact the Northern Ireland Regional Food Programme Management Team on:
