The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine has published the report of the Commission on Generational Renewal in Farming.

The Commission on Generational Renewal in Farming was established to examine a range of issues in the area of farm succession and barriers to entry into the sector for young farmers.

The new report has made 31 recommendations across a wide range of areas including Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) supports; pensions; taxation; access to finance; access to land; collaborative arrangements; advisory services; education and training; gender balance; and the overall attractiveness of the sector.

Joining Kieran to discuss this and more is Minister for Agriculture, Martin Heydon.
