"Ireland's unique production system makes it best country to meet global demand for dairy"
Zoe Kavanagh, CEO of the National Dairy Council, says the Irish economy benefits hugely from its dairy sector, an industry which is worth €5.2 billion to the Exchequer, 85% of which is invested back into local and rural economies.
From sustainable intensification to integrated farm management systems, Irish agriculture has come on leaps and bounds over the last generation, and now that the Climate Action Bill sets to put Ireland on legally binding path to zero net emissions by 2050, more change is yet to come.
Speaking of how farming in Ireland is placed for future changes, Zoe Kavanagh, CEO of the National Dairy Council, said: “I think it’s perfectly placed because of the three B’s — Booming, Better, Best."Â
