🚨Breaking🚨 - the EC is taking Ireland to court for failure to stop peat extraction on blanket bog and raised bog Special Areas of Conservation. This comes *13 years* after the first warning. Why are we doing nothing to prevent the disappearance of our most important habitats!?

Great stuff from @LauraJKehoe 'The “most destructive” industry on earth, in terms of land use and pollution is animal agriculture, she said stressing that land use and overfishing need to be discussed in Ireland' agriland.ie/farming-news/sci…

Scientist says animal agriculture in Ireland 'needs to be questioned'

The scientist said that it is a scientific fact that the biodiversity crisis is 'threatening the fabric of civilisation'

IFA's @gormanifa wants to rewrite history by saying "it’s really only in the last two to four years that this focus on climate change and emissions has really grabbed the attention of everybody". The industry simply ignored the warnings of the last 20 yrs independent.ie/farming/news/…

Teagasc’s policy was ‘drive on’ up until recently and farmers followed it, IFA President says
