From 10 to 13 September, the FAIRWAY project partners met in Ljubljana, Slovenia for our Third Plenary Meeting. New team members were introduced and the results achieved in each work package were presented and discussed. We had in depth presentations from two of our case studies, the Derg Catchment and Anglian Region, both in the UK. An excellent field day to Dravsko Polje introduced us to two local dairy farmers who shared their produce with us and discussed the actions they take on their farms to prevent contamination of water supplies by slurry. We also visited the Putj water pumping station and met the farmer who farms the surrounding water protection zone. A day of carousel sessions allowed each of the work packages and case study sites plenty of time to discuss their work programmes with each other. Our grateful thanks to Matjaž, Marina and the rest of the team at the University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty for organising such a welcoming and fruitful meeting.
