27/01/2009 |

Traditional beef breeds like the Longhorn were better suited to biodiverse pastures and yielded higher quality meat. Producers were engaging in alternative outlets like local shops, farmers markets and web sales and in a number of instances this has permitted increases in on-farm employment |

LEADER is an innovative community driven method of delivering the Rural Development Programme (RDPE), which, at its heart, is the principle that rural communities understand their needs and if they work together they can achieve real and lasting change at the local level.
