The need for diverse forms of cooperation involving primary food suppliers; scientific, extension and industry agents; and multiple firms is emphasised in Ireland’s FOOD HARVEST 2020 strategy. While cooperation is an explicit objective of the strategy in addressing issues such as scale, fragmentation, coordination and pooling of skills and competencies, cooperation is also instrumental in expediting and enhancing the achievement of the strategy’s broader goals in relation to innovation, productivity and efficiency.

Submission

Teagasc is pleased to avail of the opportunity to make a submission to the public consultation on National Climate Policy Development. This consultation has provided a platform and opportunity to collate the outcomes of Teagasc’s research and knowledge transfer programmes on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, into a Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) for Irish agriculture. This MACC quantifies the current opportunities for abatement of agricultural greenhouse gases, as well as the associated costs/benefits, and may be of use for guidance in the development of policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the non-ETS sectors.

Technology Update

Pig Health and Welfare will be a major focus of the work that will be undertaken as part of the forthcoming Teagasc/IFA Joint Programme. The principal determinants of good sow welfare in group systems are already well known from previous research and the experiences of other countries Sow longevity and more importantly sow lifetime performance have an underestimated impact on the proiftability of a pig unit. Therefore the ultimate aim should be to put a sustainable group housing system in place in which sow health, performance and therefore longevity is maximised This should serve as a reference document not only for producers switching to group housing but because of the inclusion of recent research findings and updates from other EU countries, also for those who have already converted.
