Agri-food Climate Research centre to be virtual
Pat Dillon speaking at the launch of the Teagasc Climate Action Strategy
A new National Centre for Agri-food Research and Innovation will be established to accelerate the development of new technologies to help Irish agriculture meet its government-set goal of lowering emissions by 25% by 2030.
The new “virtual centre” will not have any physical buildings and will instead be connected digitally, where it will co-ordinate climate research and innovation programmes and accelerate efforts to bring ‘almost ready’ and ‘early-stage’ technologies required for adoption at farm level to fruition.
