James Brennan Larkfield Rathnure Enniscorthy Co. Wexford Ireland Submission to Climate & Air Roadmap Public Consultation James Brennan Larkfield Rathnure Enniscorthy Co. Wexford Ireland Submission to Climate & Air Roadmap Public Consultation Draft Proposal Possible names of proposal . ( HIP ) Hedgerow Improvement programme / ( HEP , HES ) Hedgerow Enhancement programme / scheme . Basic outline of proposal is to improve our hedge rows for all future benefits it would bring . At present there is aprox 4.4 million ( ha ) under agriculture production , under proposal for each ( ha ) a landowner is claiming under BFP , they would argree to plant a tree per (ha ) cliamed per year for duration of future scheme . Trees would be planted ón or at butt of existing hedge rows . Example If landowner is claiming 50 (HA ) , they would be required to plant 50 trees each year, ón or at butt of existing hedge rows around their holding for duration of future agri scheme . CAP . Or maybe they could opt to plant two trees per ( ha ) . At end of say ,seven year period 4.4 m ( ha ) x 1 x 7 equates to over 30 million trees planted at one tree / (ha ) , at 2 trees per (ha ) it equates to over 60 million permenant trees and assosiated environmental benefits etc . To promote it , the land owner could be rewarded with an extra payment ón their entitlements per (ha ) or could be used as carbon reward . Native trees could be used where possible and some evergreen promoted , ie evergreen oak . In certain circumtances it may not be possible to implement tree planting propasal ie , stud farms with existing high value hedges / trees around fields or where it might impeed visual attractions in certain areas , example , stone wall bounderies which are natural to specific area .Also in certain coastal areas where trees find it hard to grow , and areas that are in commonage which lack hedgerows . At present our tree planting targets are behind so this proposal would increase our levels while also adding several additional environmental benefits from a biodversity , carbon sink , landscape , water quality , shelter ,shade ,increased nature value etc . The question of landowners receiving the full credit for carbon that is sequestered and stored of existing hedgerows , habitats, scrub area , grassland and crops also requires consideration going forward under EUs Green Deal . Thank you James Brennan dated 02/01/2020 A brief note before your deadline: There is a growing network of climate awareness groups across rural Ireland. Here in West Wicklow we have Dunlavin Climate Connections for example. We aim to take the public on farm walks at farms and with active farmers who are taking steps to address decarbonisation. I just want to advocate this sharing of information and sharing the 'burden' of the change. I would welcome the opportunity to speak about this piece in a forum. Thanks, Nick Bryson Dear Gov, the following text is also attached and is my submission to you, it represents the views of a number of professionals who work on sustainability in Ireland but is not the view of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering in TCD. My research, amongst other things, identifies the embodied energy and ecological footprint of each food item. The awareness created by this forms an international sustainability blueprint championed by IGES, SEI and One Planet. Farming products require extensive energy input mostly fossil fuel. Whether its feed energy, fertiliser energy or others we have the figures. Unfortunately current beef and dairy practices impact Irelands ecological footprint massively and need to be reduced overall not supported. We will only ring a certain amount of efficiency out of these products as their embodied energy is enormous. What will efficiency do with the shadow cow in dairy farming. I do not want to spend too much time on the Draft Plan as its current thinking is in my opinion protective of the present systems, and their interests. The Draft suggests, and the survey queries, changes – which skirt around the major issues, adding efficiencies, respecting Directives but not decarbonising. Innovation, its thinking, its process, and its nourishment has never been more important in this sector. We need at the very least a qualified mobile innovation unit to explore and animate innovation and production on farms all around the country. Transition is not required, we require transformation or its likely we will be significant players in climate change going forward. Transformation of farming values, ideas and products is essential. Education of the farming youth has never been more important, an education which shows diversity and not the restricted thinking that presides now. As a start can we measure the ecological footprint of each food product and produce a figure per kg consumed. So the consumer can compare and in the future we can all impact farming policy from a climate damage and aware position. The dairy footprint needs to include the shadow cow, which it does not at the moment and if the animal is exposed to feed (GMO) this needs to be recorded and the product labelled. Feed is imported from GMO friendly areas like USA and India, the feed is not labelled but it is cheap. Can we find out what farmers buy, what is imported and scrutinise what our beef and dairy products represent. Labelling brings awareness, we are told our beef is the best, it is the most efficient, why are there no figures and labels? Why can we not compare one beef item to another or one litre of milk to another – it is because this information does not exist, we do not know how good our beef is. We also do not know if the shadow cow is included in the milk footprint, we wonder where the milk footprint is and if it includes the transport distances of cheap feeds. Transparency and labelling I essential and let the consumer decide on what is best and on decarbonisation. Some of our farmers are wealthy enough to import their feed without using retail or wholesale suppliers. Do the coops know the provenance of the food and the processes used to produce it – GMO or otherwise? Organic food is central going forward, can we have labels showing organic status, ecological footprint, GMO use and full scrutiny of farming purchase practice to back this up? The consumer will decarbonise farming there is no point waiting for authorities and farmers to do so. There are a number of diversification ideas which should also be become more mainstream, some of these are listed below: 1) Wood-energy - http://www.ccwep.ie - farmers can keep their jobs, protect the climate and actually make jobs. Covering all wood products and appropriate wood species. Biofuel - rapeseed oil and others should be grown and incentivised so that the market can build and establish itself. Incentives should be upfront as being phased out so that new entrants are there to work at producing for an industry. Through small incentive biodiesel and PPO are exceptional transport fuels, yet we prefer to import virtually all transport fuel from the Middle East. I applaud the fact we add c.10% to our fuel mix as it stands, but we need more of this and we need to grow that 10% ourselves. We were doing this in Tipperary before fiscal measures killed our work with farmers – BioNETT. https://ec.europa.eu/energy/intelligent/projects/sites/iee- projects/files/projects/documents/bio-nett_biofuels_handbook_en.pdf BioNETT also shows biogas units working. We need to harvest methane and inject into the gas grid - producing our own carbon neutral fuel. Mobile units could be used to collect methane we have examples of this. In short there is significant innovation for farms to work on, a number of test cases - best practice should be developed as per EIP-Agri, but we should be developing these ourselves too, without European funding. 5 best practice case studies for farmers on various wood products, a number on PPO, a number on biogas, a number on biodiesel, a number on arable farming and alternatives, a number of the EIP-Agri examples. Helping farmers to move away from beef and dairy and supporting their decarbonisation. Similar to what we have developed for innovation in communities here: https://www.sparkchange.ie/success-stories/ we need to offer farmers ideas that work for others, in the narrative of those others, not using Teagasc or other narratives, innovation does not need a huge technical overload it is mostly hard work but will require an innovation unit, possibly a mobile one, one that is qualified and builds and sets up ideas as it moves around the country. The unit should be backed with flexible supports which include funds so that projects can be helped in the appropriate ways – sometimes these ways cannot be envisioned from an office, the unit needs to work with farmers to support diversification and build case studies f success that others can follow. In short the diversification offered by examples above and by EIP-Agri is the way to go with significant facilitated support with a mobile unit. We should select the sustainable farming ideas and nourish them well, others will follow, jobs, decarbonisation and resilience will follow. Also I think the farming sector should not be afraid to label its products with organic status, embodied energy value, ecological footprint value, education and awareness is needed, as they say the consumer is always right.
