Over the month of April, the National Rural Network, in association with Teagasc, ConnectED, Dairy Sustainability Ireland and Food and Drink Ireland Skillnet, held a series of online webinars to help pinpoint the way to low-emissions agriculture.
Philip O’Brien, Environmental Protection Agency, covered the importance of Greenhouse gases and their association to agriculture; Philip Blackwell and John Muldowney, DAFM, provided an update on policies around reducing GHG emissions from agriculture; Teagasc Researcher Gary Lanigan discussed our options for reducing GHGs; and Joe Patton, Teagasc, focused on feed management for productive ruminants.
Sustainability is key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from Irish agriculture.
These 1-hour online webinars are designed to help agri-professionals communicate the best evidence-based advice and guidance to their clients. By working together, the agricultural industry can make major steps towards reducing the environmental footprint of Irish agriculture.
