Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue along with Minister of State Pippa Hackett have today announced that their Department is investing in two key projects that support the storing of carbon in our soils.

Both projects will help achieve the Government’s climate objectives, particularly in respect of grasslands on drained organic soils.
