A public consultation on a National Climate & Air Roadmap for the Agriculture Sector to 2030 and Beyond is set to close today, 10 January.

Ahead of the deadline, Agriculture Minister Michael Creed TD has reminded the farming and wider public to make their voices heard.

Minister Creed said: "As we approach Friday's consultation deadline, it is important for farmers and wider agri-food sector to submit their views. The Ag-Climatise roadmap will become a very important policy document for our sector over the coming years and beyond. It is important that everybody has their say. We need all stakeholders and farmers fully engaged if we are to be successful in making the changes that are required.

"The objective of the Ag-Climatise roadmap is clear. It is translating our commitments under the All of Government Climate Action Plan and translating them into clear actions to deliver on our commitments. Officials from my Department are currently organising a follow up engagement with key stakeholders. This will facilitate an early discussion on some of the emerging trends from the consultation process."
