CAP Network Ireland strives to bring Ireland’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) Strategic Plan to life.
Our scope covers four exciting areas:
Research
We collect, analyse and share activities carried out under the CSP.
Management & Implementation
Through our collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine (DAFM), we monitor, report, and evaluate the strides taken within the CSP.
Communication & Networking
We promote opportunities, facilitate peer learning, knowledge exchange and stakeholder engagement
Innovation Hub
We run an innovation hub to facilitate knowledge exchange, share opportunities for collaboration and bring innovations closer to on-the-ground application.
What is the Common Agricultural Policy?
CAP Network Ireland is a partnership between three organisations
