Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan (CSP) for the period 2023-2027 underpins the sustainable development of Ireland’s farming and food sector by supporting viable farm incomes and enhancing competitiveness, by strengthening the socio-economic fabric of rural areas, and by contributing to the achievement of environmental and climate objectives at national and EU levels. Some €9.8 billion is being delivered to our farm families over these five years to support them to continue to produce world-class, safe and sustainable food as well as supporting them in their important work of meeting our climate ambitions.

All of the wide range of schemes within the current CSP were designed before the NRL was adopted. They are not linked to it. .
