Teagasc Research Insights Webinar - Balancing demands from land

The final Teagasc Research Insights Webinars focusing on Land Use - Making the most of our land which took place on Wednesday, 20 January.

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.
