Irish farmers ‘must continue to play their part in helping world’s poor’

Irish family farmers must continue to play their part in tackling the challenges faced by the world’s poor through the production of high-quality food and closer co-operation with developing countries.

Agriculture, Food and Marine Minister Simon Coveney made the comment in support of an educational poster aimed at raising awareness among children of those challenges.

“I believe that Irish family farmers continue to have an increasingly important role in addressing future global challenges associated with food and nutrition security,” he said.
