Teagasc welcomes the opportunity to provide a response to your request for comments on the detailed elements of the proposed new Agri-Environment Scheme and we look forward to working with your staff on this as the scheme develops.

Ireland’s landscape is enriched by its heritage of farmhouses and outbuildings, its field patterns and the nature of the boundaries that divide them. The landscape of Ireland is predominantly an agricultural one, and farmers have been its guardians.
