Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion
Brian Leddin (Limerick City, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
The Co-Chairman, Deputy Cahill, has returned. I do not know if you heard his reaction to that, Deputy Carthy.
Before we finish this session of our meeting, I will add to Deputy Carthy's final question. A very interesting point has been made. Governments, not just in Ireland but all over the world, use the levers available to them to try to enact change across sectors in society. What I am hearing from you, Mr. Savage, is that a bottom-up approach using technology will help governments to achieve their objectives. I am very interested in the idea that if farmers know and understand the level of emissions associated with their farms and their herds, they will drive efficiencies at farm level. Do I hear you correctly in that regard, Mr. Savage?
