That is where everyone needs to go, on a large scale. Smart farming and BASE farming is an opportunity. Agro-forestry, protecting biodiversity and carbon management are the green way to go, which will be the future of Irish farming. It is far more secure, it pays better and it fits into our sense of pride. We are right to have pride in our family farm-based system. It provides a really secure future and that is the way we should go. As part of that, we should aim to cut our emissions and not let them rise.
