February 14, 2024 9:44 am

Go beyond the headlines with our podcast series – AgriFocus – where we take a closer look at some of the key issues that directly impact on farmers, rural communities and the agri-sector.

In this episode Agriland editor Stella Meehan, is joined by former president of Macra and former vice-president of CEJA (European Council of Young Farmers), Thomas Duffy.

Duffy farms in partnership with his parents and sister on their Co. Cavan dairy farm.

He explains the impact, if any, of European protests, what the future holds for the Mercosur trade deal and why the loss of a nitrates derogation would destroy Ireland’s agricultural industry.
