Publications

The aim of the conference is to expose practical examples of rural development and rural enterprise, alongside broader discussions of rural development and rural policy within Ireland and in the EU. Practical examples of alternative rural enterprise initiatives and innovation and diversification on farms, presented by rural entrepreneurs themselves, will feature prominently throughout the conference programme. Equally so, broader issues relating to sustainable rural livelihoods, will be addressed in the context of the larger rural policy and rural development debate.

The recent rally in the price of grains was caused by factors which are now well understood e.g . economic growth especially in Asia and the Far East where expanding GDP means diet upgrade, higher per capita food consumption and more demand for protein. China remains the main engine with 7-10% GDP growth, changing their diet to oil/fat/meat instead of rice, and contracting forward for energy and minerals, as well as investing billions of dollars in African infrastructure to secure access to raw materials. Other factors such as population growth along with the global rundown of stocks have also played their part.
