Minister Coveney launches the Land Mobility Service annual report today at Government buildings. The service was established by Macra na Feirme with the financial support of FBD Trust, Aurivo, Dairygold and Glanbia. The provision of core funding by FBD Trust has been the single most important factor in getting this service off the ground. In addition, the logistical and financial support of the three pilot area co-ops, together with support from the farming community, Teagasc, the Irish Farmers Journal, and the Department of Agriculture have been key to the success of the service.
The service has demonstrated that with dedicated independent expertise, farmers can be facilitated to enter into new collaborative arrangements leading to a better return for both the farmer and the landowner.
The service has three key functions:
1. To create awareness and provide information.
2. To deliver arrangements.
3. To support existing arrangements.
The service proved its effectiveness in three pilot areas and is now going nationwide. The location of arrangements delivered shows that where support was most available, the level of delivery was highest.
Long leases have proven to be the most popular arrangements but the spread of other arrangement types highlights the need for a range of effective options.
The annual report and other information can be viewed at www.landmobility.ie.
