Ireland mustn’t suffer because of green agenda

Global warming has created a massive industry throughout most of the developed world during the past decade.

A very high percentage of the vast sums of money invested in research around the world are connected in some way with global warming, climate change and the environment. A high percentage of agricultural research is also involved with environmental matters. Fortunately, most of the agricultural research to-date indicates there is little conflict between good farming and good care of the environment.

In fact, some of the Teagasc research with fertilisers has enabled many farmers to save a lot of money without any loss of production and better protection of the environment. Agricultural research has also proved the benefits for the environment of good grassland management.
