Another dairy farmer and Nuffield Scholar, @DaithiD06 from Claremorris in Mayo presented his research on the challenges and opportunities for farmers and co-ops in achieving net zero carbon emissions.

The campaign to blame farmers for all our issues is getting tiring. Traveling Carlow and Kilkenny you can see changes been made to help protect waterways. Attacking one sector continuously is not going to help solve issues. Also I’ve seen foam in rivers for over 30 years here. – at Carlow, Ireland
Visiting Kilkenny this weekend? This was the River Nore this week, you can see the foam. The EPA says that >95% of the nitrogen is from agriculture and that N loss must come down by c.40% to meet water quality standards

Last night Andrew Harding @BBCnews did a report from Somalia. The baby that died before our eyes was called Abduwalle. Starved to death. Any of my farmer friends feel we should do #milkfromacowforaday again? If so I need your help. – at Longford, Ireland

Disappointing to see @rte #WPAYO providing misleading info & hugely inaccurate figures for carbon emissions of Irish dairy & suggesting that ‘any alternative’ is better without highlighting their inferior nutritional value. Irish #Dairy is among the most sustainable in the world.

UPDATE: The @UN has deleted their tweet claiming meat is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the world’s largest oil companies. It was the appropriate thing to do. Slowly but surely, we're starting to put the toothpaste back into the tube.
