Innovation in the Ireland and UK Food Sector: Ambitions for Action

It was against the background of the growing interdependencies between the UK and Irish economies that Prime Minister Cameron and the Taoiseach, Enda Kenny agreed that their Joint Statement of 12th March 2012 would be the foundation for building even stronger relations between our two nations. In particular, the Prime Minister and Taoiseach committed themselves to initiatives to boost competitiveness and productivity and to support innovation, research and development involving greater collaboration between our third-level colleges, research institutes and business sectors. In view of the growing uncertainty in global food and commodity markets, the two leaders specically identied considerable potential for closer cooperation in the agri-food sector.

Teagasc Response to Consultation on Rural Development Programme Measures

In January 2014, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine published a draft consultation paper in relation to the Rural Development Programme 20 14-2020 after the adoption of the Rural Development Regulation in December 2013. The paper outlines a series of proposed measures to be included within the new programme. This follows an earlier consultation in 2013 scoping out potential measures. Teagasc welcomes the opportunity to make observations in relation to the programme.
