Research
One of the key messages from the Teagasc 2030 Foresight Report was the central importance of grass based agricultural systems in underpinning the competitiveness and profitability of the agri-food sector in the emerging bio-economy. The initial objective set out for the Grassland Research and Innovation programme is to generate and procure evidence-based knowledge to support innovation, technology transfer and education in the key areas of Irish grass production including:
- grass breeding
- growth
- fertilisation
- utilisation
- nutritional value
and to develop grazing systems that will underpin the profitability, competitiveness and sustainability of the sector and enhance food security.
