There is also an onus on us as farmers to change our thinking, which traditionally has been based on the philosophy of intervention and market clearing produce away. We need to change our approach to ensure, as Senator Quinn stated, that we produce food the market wants and of a quality for which it is prepared to pay and reward us. In circumstances such as these in which there will inevitably be casualties, the European Union has the responsibility to ensure the incomes of farmers are underpinned through direct payments and decoupling, whether in recognition of their role as guardians of the environment or for wider social reasons.
