Members will be aware that Food Wise 2025 set ambitious targets. CAP reform will be coming down the line, and in my opinion this will be crucial. How can we marry CAP reform to Food Wise 2025 targets to increase agricultural exports to €19 billion by 2025 and create an extra 20,000 odd jobs, which the economy needs and the exports are very important as well? What work has Teagasc done from an environmental point of view to inform CAP reform?
