Farmer views on sustainability sought as part of research project

The research project follows from a recent gathering of co-op industry leaders and environmental experts at an initial national bioeconomy workshop.

All farmers from all sectors and all farm sizes are invited to take part in the survey.

Farmers nationwide are being encouraged to take part in a survey about challenges and opportunities for Irish agriculture, relating mainly to sustainability and the bioeconomy.

ICOS, the policy and representative body for the co-op sector, has launched the survey as part of a research project being funded by the Golden Jubilee Trust, the philanthropic trust whose objective is to improve and develop all aspects of Irish agricultural and rural life.
