Change to dominate farming, says Coughlan

The new Minister for Agriculture and Food is up to date on the sector, RAY RYAN reports.

SINCE being appointed the country’s first woman Minister for Agriculture and Food three months ago, Mary Coughlan has talked with a lot of people in the industry.

She has noted in the process that the word arising most often is “change”, a theme that will dominate much of what will happen in farming and the food sector over the next few years.
