The priorities for the implementation of the next phase of Food Harvest 2020 are set out in 'Milestones for Success'' which was produced last July and is available on the Department's website, www.agriculture.gov.ie.

This, the first progress report for Food Harvest 2020, gives the pathway towards reaching the 2020 targets by setting interim milestones for 2013 and 2015 and deciding on the 41 key initiatives which will be progressed by July 2012. At its September meeting, the Food Harvest 2020 High Level Implementation Committee (HLIC) set itself quarterly targets towards achieving these 41 key actions, and next January I will monitor and assess the progress made on the targets set for September-December 2010.
