Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action
Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion

Mr. Paul Price:

Yes. I totally agree with the Deputy. It is a problem. We should be making sure we do not have below-cost selling. I am certainly not advocating going to a Danish system and producing grain and feeding it to animals. Overall, it would be better to be producing more grain and legumes directly for human food. That would be better for local food security as well. Ireland is in a good position to do that, as well as producing its own vegetables.
