Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Development of Sheep Sector: Discussion

Mr. Brendan Crosse:

Teagasc and Bord Bia respond to industry. It probably takes someone from the industry or a start-up to highlight the opportunity to them by creating the noise for them to engage with it and to realise there is a demand for the deliverables from that research. In New Zealand, they have a two-tier approach with heavy investment into maintaining, growing and developing the status quo but also a more aspirational approach in their research to develop other primary industries. There are probably lessons to be learned from that.
