    Abstract

    An Talamh Bhláfar (The Fertile Land) is a song that bridges heritage, culture, and sustainability. Created by Maynooth University (MU) and University College Dublin (UCD) through the Horizon Europe BioBeo project and the BiOrbic BioCultúr project, it shares the significance of the bioeconomy with communities through the arts. The video launch coincides with the appearance of one of our guitarists on the RTE Late Late Toy show @rtelatelateshow #latelatetoyshow. The bioeconomy, focused on sustainable resource use and innovation, offers a path to resilient communities. By weaving these principles into a song inspired by Ireland’s cultural and ecological heritage, An Talamh Bhláfar shows how land, language, and tradition are deeply connected with a bioeconomy. In Ireland, the landscape and cultural identity are inseparable, reflected in place names, traditions, and livelihoods. The song highlights how communities can honour these ties while adopting sustainable practices. Through music, An Talamh Bhláfar invites listeners to embrace a shared vision of sustainability, celebrating the potential of the bioeconomy to protect both nature and culture for future generations.
