About this event
This title of year's symposium is "Achieving Our Agricultural Climate Targets: Pathways For Success". The event is organised by UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science, with the support of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ireland.
To achieve our climate targets and ensure the long-term sustainability of our sector, agriculture is working towards the development of more climate resilient systems and the reduction of agricultural emissions. Significant transformation is needed and this requires joined up thinking and long-term strategic planning in both research and practice. This Symposium aims to raise awareness, exchange knowledge and provide research- based information on current policy approaches, farm-level initiatives and address the contribution of sustainable diets in food security debates.
Session themes include:
- Policy Landscape
- Farm level initiatives: Mitigation Measures
- Farm level initiatives: Knowledge Transfer and Behavioural Changes
- Beyond the Farm Gate: Connecting Consumers, Industry and Farm Level Initiatives
