Teagasc response to Minister’s request for submissions on the new REPS scheme

Teagasc welcomes the opportunity to provide a response to your request for comments on the detailed elements of the proposed new Agri-Environment Scheme and we look forward to working with your staff on this as the scheme develops. As you may be aware, Teagasc has established a number of internal working groups on the Water Framework Directive, Climate Change and Biodiversity, which can provide a very useful forum for more specific discussions on the proposed measures.

Traditional Buildings on Irish Farms
Traditional Buildings on Irish Farms

Ireland’s landscape is enriched by its heritage of farmhouses and outbuildings, its field patterns and the nature of the boundaries that divide them. The landscape of Ireland is predominantly an agricultural one, and farmers have been its guardians. In times past, the occupants of traditional farmhouses and their associated farmsteads were often also their builders.They made clever use of materials available locally and they built in accordance with a language of construction that was shared by their community.

Farmland Habitats
Farmland Habitats

Most of Ireland is farmed in some way, ranging from the intensively managed arable land in the east to small wet fields in the west. Because so much of the land is farmed, Irish wildlife depends heavily on the habitats that exist on farms. A properly managed farm is a good place for wildlife and offers a variety of places in which plants and animals can live.
