Farmers’ role in fight against climate change

IFA does not consider the headline ‘Cows and cars hinder C02 cuts’ (March 4), regarding comments made by Environment Minister John Gormley, as an accurate reflection of what he said.

Mr Gormley correctly stated that “if we are forced to reduce our agriculture in response to increased greenhouse gas emissions, there is a possibility that food will be produced elsewhere and you have food miles”.

IFA concurs with these comments.
