Minister for Communications, Climate Action and the Environment Richard Bruton will lead a discussion at the Ploughing on the Climate Action Plan published in June earlier this year.
Some of the key elements of the plan include:
Implementing a suite of measures to improve nitrogen use efficiency.
Improving on-farm slurry management.
Increasing productivity and resilience of the national forest estate and tree species.
Minister Bruton said: “Agriculture is Ireland’s largest single source of greenhouse gas but is also Ireland’s single greatest carbon sink. I look forward to discussing how new farming methods and new opportunities in the bio-economy can strengthen the resilience and sustainability of our land use.”
