INHFA withdraws from Food Vision Beef and Sheep group
The group was set up to advance the actions for the beef and sheep sector identified in the Food Vision 2030 strategy, with its first task being to develop a plan to help reduce emissions associated with the beef sector.
The Irish Natura and Hill Farmers Association has expressed "major misgivings" about proposals outlined in the Food Vision Beef and Sheep Group report. A statement issued on Friday (November 17) said the organisation has "distanced itself" and "withdrew" from the process.
The INHFA said the decision to withdraw from the group was reached following a "lively" meeting of its national council held this week, where concerns around the measures contained in the current version of the report were expressed.
