FH2020 is about increasing Ireland’s primary food output by 33%, food value-added by 40%, and food exports by 42%, between now and 2020.
The environmental analysis will include the likely impacts — if the food industry expansion targets are achieved — on biodiversity, flora and fauna, water (including groundwater quality), soil, air quality, landscape, and climatic factors (including impacts on greenhouse gas emission levels).
