State agriculture agency's Dublin Declaration' was accused of having links to the livestock industry
The meat industry is coming under enough climate change pressure so as to have started messaging and astroturf campaigns.
Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue has said he sees no conflict in Teagasc’s involvement with the recent ‘Dublin Declaration’ on the Societal Role of Meat, which was recently criticised in a Guardian article as “propaganda”.
