Join us live at ATU Letterkenny, together with an expert panel, for an open and interactive discussion on the viable pathways for Irish farms in slashing climate emissions.
As Ireland seeks to cut 25% of agricultural emissions by 2030, climate change poses significant challenges for Irish farms in both reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the adaptation of traditional farming practices. This public panel session will explore both the implications and opportunities for a climate smart, Irish agricultural sector on the road to net zero.
The panel, chaired by Dr Edna Curley, (Mountbellow Agricultural College, will share their differing views and prospectives on the future of Irish farming with contribution from Dr James Moran (ATU Galway), Geraldine O'Sullivan (Irish Farmers Association), Colm Markey MEP (Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development) and Dr Douglas McMillan (Green Restoration Ireland).
Refreshments reception from 7pm, with the panel discussion commencing at 8pm. The session will open with short keynote addresses, followed by an open discussion and Q&A session focused on "The implications and solutions of future climate actions on agriculture".
Come along and have your say on the future of Irish agricultural, everyone welcome.
