First meeting of Food Vision Tillage Group held

The group will work "to develop a blueprint that will stimulate the Irish tillage sector in its drive for greater output, efficiency, and profitability".

Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue has said that tillage plays a "significant role" in Ireland's food and feed security by providing high-quality produce to the animal feed industry and to the food and drinks industry.

The first meeting of the Food Vision 2030 Tillage Group has been held. 

The group is chaired by Matt Dempsey, and participants are drawn from farming organisations, industry, and state bodies.
