Under Budget 2020, €3m was allocated to my Department to pilot new agri-environmental schemes to support the Government’s Climate Action Plan objectives in 2020.

A working group has been established to progress the initiative with a particular focus on the use of the European Innovation Fund framework which facilitates locally-led initiatives.
