The final Research Insights Webinar, which took place on Wednesday, 20th January 2021, focusing on Land Use: Balancing demands from land. Teagasc economists use microeconomic data from Teagasc’s National Farm Survey to examine different aspects of the sustainability challenge and food demands
Agricultural Sustainability is a core element of Teagasc’s research programme. Farmers and policy makers face a challenge in balancing society’s demand for food with its concurrent demands for improvements in the environmental performance of Irish farming. In this webinar Teagasc economists use microeconomic data from Teagasc’s National Farm Survey to examine different aspects of this complex multidimensional sustainability challenge.
