What are the adaptations to be made to address the climate challenges in grassland?

Irish grassland systems are experiencing some clear climatic challenges. The incidence of high level precipitation events, soil moisture deficits and prolonged winter conditions are becoming increasingly frequent resulting in challenging conditions for Irish farmers.

The objective of this conference is to identify the significant risks and opportunities for Irish grassland systems and to highlight the knowledge gaps that may exist which require an additional research focus. Key areas such as:

grass/clover breeding
grassland modelling
weather and grass production trends
latest research findings

will form part of the conference. The conference is very much focussed to addressing the key climate adaptations that Irish grassland needs to address in the years ahead.

Conference sponsored by Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
