ACP - Moorepark '21

Although the Irish dairy industry has been the fastest growing dairy-sector in the EU during the last 10 years, future growth is facing greater environmental constraints due to growing agricultural emissions, reduced water/air quality and biodiversity loss. The Moorepark Open Day event took place over three days on 14 - 16 September with a theme of delivering sustainability. At the catchment board, staff discussed with visitors some water quality findings and in the below picture are Sean Hegarty, Oisín Coakley and Jason Galloway (Hi Vis). The open day booklet can be downloaded here and an ACP article 'Does nitrates derogation farming impact water quality?' is on page 142.
