Over 50,000 tonnes of organic feed needed for winter as survey indicates growing demand
Farmer numbers doubled to 4,000 in 2023, with another 1,000 farmers joining the Organic Farming Scheme in 2024.
New results from a recent farmer survey indicate a growing demand for organic feed of all types to meet requirements for next winter.
The Department of Agriculture survey took place against the background of a significant increase in organic farmer numbers and area over the past couple of years.
