Two-speed economy emerging in rural Ireland, says ESRI professor
The ESRI associate research professor told those attending the National Rural Development Conference in Athlone that employment will continue to dwindle in areas with smaller family farms. The event was organised by National Rural Network and Teagasc.
Dr Morgenroth said: “Regions with strong commercial farming will continue to hold their own or even increase in vibrancy, while areas that are not suited to intensive, commercial farming will continue to decline.
