The global community faces a future in which we need to balance the need to increase food and fibre production, with helping farmers, foresters, fishermen and society generally to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, build resilience and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
This roadmap has been developed by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) on foot of extensive engagement with industry, research, policy, farmer and environmental stakeholders. It is a roadmap designed to help all stakeholders to work together to tackle climate change and air pollution, by clearly explaining what we need to do and when we need to do it. By collectively pooling expertise and energy we can determine how best to do it, ensuring our sector remains at the forefront of globally sustainable food production systems.
