Macra hails as historic mandatory supports for young farmers in CAP

Mandatory supports for young farmers in both pillars of the new CAP will mark an historic first, says Macra na Feirme president Alan Jagoe.

The Macra leader was speaking at the conclusion of the European Young Farmers conference hosted in Dublin by Macra na Feirme in association with CEJA, the European young farmer group.

The two groups have also produced their joint ‘Dublin Declaration’, a charter in which they outline proposals for other necessary supports for young farmers.
