Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Strategic Direction of Bord Bia: Discussion

Ms Deirdre Ryan:

Yes, certainly. There are always differences in how people calculate emissions so we need to be very careful that we compare like with like. Our models are very accurate and we have a huge scope in that we calculate them across nationally. We do look and we know we are very favourable in terms of our carbon footprint due to our grass-based systems and the fact we are tracking, monitoring and measuring.
