Tillage Sectoral Energy Crop Development Group
Tillage Sectoral Energy Crop Development Group

The recently published Tillage Sector Development Plan will be used as a roadmap for growing the tillage sector and delivery of its goals will be monitored at the Food Harvest 2020 High Level Implementation Committee. The Tillage Sector Development Plan was compiled by the Teagasc Tillage Crop Stakeholder Consultative Group and launched in 2012. The plan identifies considerable potential for expansion in cereals, oilseed rape, energy crops and some potential in potatoes. If all the potential increases in the various crops were achieved, the area under crops could increase by 221,000 hectares, and the production of tillage crops could increase by 1.14 million tonnes.

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.
