Yet another brilliant (and free) @FarmingforWater event this Thursday June 18th. Get down if in the area for a great day seeing the huge work thousands and thousands of Irish farm families are doing protecting and enhancing local waterways. 👇🐮💧☘️

Hook it to my veins! 🇳🇬 #LimerickVCork

Raise a glass to #WorldMilkDay! 🥛 🐄Today we celebrate the importance of #milk and other #dairy products 🧀in healthy diets. 🐐🐏Milk contributes to bone health, growth and immunity through its numerous nutrients like protein, calcium, magnesium and phosphate.

These swimming cows have made our morning 🥹🐮🌊 📺 #WildConamara | Tonight at 6.30pm

Ireland is one of the world's top 30 food exporting countries. Exports of $13bn in 2024 made us the 28th largest exporter, mainly due to beef and dairy. In fact, Ireland is the largest beef exporter in the northern hemisphere! Our agri-food sector is a global success story 🇮🇪🐄🍽️

Delighted to be in Listowel for the launch of Kinisla. This €300m investment and 100 new jobs illustrate the vital importance of our dairy industry. We will continue to promote the best of Irish food exports globally.

We have a carbon tunnel vision problem in food policy. New paper out today. The short version: when GHG emissions become the only lens for evaluating food systems, we end up with policies that look climate-smart on a spreadsheet and fail in the real world. A few of the things that get lost when CO₂e/kg is the only metric: Nutrition. A large recent intervention trial found participants on the low-emission diet had greater inadequacies in B2, B6, B12, iodine, calcium, zinc, and selenium. Pregnant and lactating women are especially exposed on iron. Any policy that trades modest emissions cuts for worse nutrition in vulnerable groups isn't a sustainability policy—it's a sustainability failure. Scale. Livestock in the West contributes 2.6% of global anthropogenic GHGs. A meat-reducing Westerner saves 1–6% on their total footprint. Diet is not the dominant climate lever in high-income countries. Housing, transport, and digital infrastructure are. Carbon accounting. Biogenic methane from ruminants behaves differently in the atmosphere than fossil CO₂. Treating them as interchangeable under GWP100 misallocates mitigation effort. Stable ruminant herds don't add warming the way new fossil emissions do. Land. Grasslands store 10–30% of global terrestrial soil organic carbon, often deeper and more fire-resilient than forest stocks. Well-managed grazing can sequester carbon while producing food. Tree-centric afforestation, when ill-conceived, can backfire—biodiversity loss, wildfire risk, even net warming from albedo effects in some contexts. The path forward isn't defending the status quo of industrial livestock—the paper is explicit that reform is urgent and desirable. It's building policy on metrics that actually map to climate goals, account for nutrition, and respect regional context.

What’s working on the ground, and what’s not? We are stress-testing key environmental rules, listening to how they affect farmers & forest holders💧🌱 This is your chance to share your experience to help make policies simpler, clearer & more effective 👉link.europa.eu/Xrrt9c

Today at @Pathways_europe final event, Paul Savage @IrelandinEU says the incoming presidency plans to build on the EU #LivestockStrategy to ensure the sector thrives into the future. 🇮🇪 is committed to ensure the EU remains a leader & supports the global transition.
