2024-05-19
Intent: To voice farmers' anger and frustration at the ever-increasing administrative burden being placed on them which has had a major impact on farm family incomes.::To highlight the following key issues that are contributing to growing frustration and anger with the political system::1. The transformation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) away from supporting food production towards actually reducing farm output. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funding is being redirected to environmental schemes – the EU is effectively implementing new environmental regulations such as the “eco-schemes” on the cheap by redirecting existing funding instead of allocating additional funds.::2. The failure of the EU to properly compensate farmers under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). In 2014, Ireland received €1.16bn in Pillar one funding from EU – that figure is effectively the same today, 10 years on, despite huge inflation in farmers' cost of production in the interim.

Intent: To highlight that Agri-environment schemes are a critical source of income each year for family farms, contributing to the enhancement of our environment, while improving the environmental and economic sustainability of our farming enterprises. The new proposed Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme (ACRES) has the potential to continue to fulfil this role, however, further changes are necessary in order to achieve this.::Agri - Climate Rural Environment Scheme (ACRES) Budget::ACRES is proposed to have a maximum participation of 50,000 farmers. Based on participation levels in GLAS and the number of farmers who applied for the REAP scheme, IFA are strongly of the view that 50,000 places in ACRES will be insufficient.
