Professor Kirby is an expert on this area. If we look at the level of carbon emissions, Ireland is unusual among European countries in regard to our dependency on agriculture. What kind of agricultural industry would we have if we were to achieve a target of 80% reduction in emissions by 2050? There is a sectoral roadmap and emissions in energy and transport are quite low in comparison.

Is Professor Kirby saying that agriculture should be hit by an 80% reduction? He mentioned Food Harvest 2020. They do seem to bang off each other, so to speak.
