Co-ops focus on climate change

Climate change is the challenge of our generation and for generations to come, ICOS president Michael Spellman said at the co-op umbrella groups 124th annual meeting in Killenard, Co Laois.

“The agriculture sector obviously has much to contribute to sustainability, has already made major strides in this requirement, and is playing its part in working towards a low carbon future, relative to the essential and far reaching benefits which this vital source of food production brings to our society and the economy,” said Mr Spellman.
