Ireland’s plan to be a world leader in sustainable food systems by 2030 has been thrown open to public consultation.
Submissions or observations on the draft Agri-Food Strategy to 2030 and associated Environmental Report and Natura Impact Statement are invited, until June 15, 2021.
The strategy aims for agri-food being profitable throughout (economic sustainability), with broad-based benefits for society (social sustainability), with a positive or neutral impact on the natural environment (environmental sustainability).

Lawmakers in France are moving closer to a new law that, if passed, would see input costs for agri-food producers incorporated into prices paid by processors and retailers.
The Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers’ Association (ICMSA) has been following developments around this potential legislation, noting today (Wednesday, April 21) that a bill has been proposed in parliament in France.
Pat McCormack, the ICMSA president, said that the bill would put mandatory ‘cost indicators’ into the price negotiations between farmers and processors/retailers.
The proposed law aims to ensure that farmers get a better share of final consumer price by legally insisting that the cost of producing food is factored into the prices paid to farmers.
