Agnieszka Piwowarczyk
It is time we stand for up progressive values and push Sligo County Council in a more forward-looking, environmentally conscious direction that reflects the concerns of our communities.
As your representative for Sligo-Drumcliff, I will champion an inclusive, community-led approach to local politics that tackles the core challenges facing our area such as biodiversity loss, brain drain and economic decline.
Protect, preserve and promote areas of cultural and historical significance - Our local areas are steeped in cultural and natural heritage. I will promote our community’s historical and biodiversity areas. This will bring environmental and economic benefits to our county.
Support small farmers in diversifying - the current climate crisis poses an existential threat to farmers. I would ensure these farmers are given the supports necessary to incorporate tillage, forestry and horticulture and adopt sustainable farming methods.
Rejuvenation of rural communities - I would work to ensure that community initiatives, small businesses and our burgeoning arts industry are invested in and supported so that our vibrant rural communities can thrive.
Experience
I am an environmental educator, researcher and consultant, with a specific focus on soil. I lecture in on biology and soil health, and run workshops on our personal interactions and experiences with nature.
