Mr. Derry Dillon:

To add to the comments of Mr. Healy, it is definitely linked to behavioural change and, like anything, behavioural change takes time. None of us likes change. A large cohort of the farming population farmed in a different era with a different farming philosophy and a different focus. The 7% of our farmers who are under 35 have gone through an education and knowledge transfer system that focuses more on the environment and is more climate conscious. It links farming activity to the environment. We will see change but it will take time. It is difficult for farmers who are used to particular management practices on farms to change the habit of a lifetime. If we can link environmental change and environmental benefits to efficiencies on farms and profitability for the farmers, it will be a win-win. This will happen if we can show farmers there is a win for them in terms of profitability and sustainability as well as a win for the environment. They will see a positive correlation between management practice, the benefit to them and the benefit with regard to climate change from the perception of Irish agriculture but it will take time.
