91. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the extent to which he continues to monitor any potential erosion of the production capacity of Irish agriculture, with particular reference to the need to ensure increased output in the area given the degree to which Ireland's economy has depended upon the agri-food sector; the need to address climate change and emission issues, and at the same time avoid food shortages currently affecting many parts of the globe and resulting in starvation and famine; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
