Show notes

The Teagasc Sheep Sector Roadmap 2030 outlines a strategic plan for Ireland's 34,000+ sheep farmers to enhance sustainability, productivity, and profitability.

This week we’re joined by Dr Philip Creighton, Sheep Enterprise Leader, and Michael Gottstein, Head of Sheep Knowledge Transfer, to discuss this in more detail.


We look at the current profile and performance of the sector, key economic metrics, and the targets set out for the industry to 2030.


Michael and Philip also outline the economic, social and environmental challenges facing sheep farming, and the role research, knowledge transfer and on-farm innovation will play in helping the sector progress towards the roadmap’s target
