Overview

The National Rural Network convenes Strategic Issues Working Groups to address strategic issues of common concern across the Rural Development Programme. To date two Strategic Issues Working Groups have been established to address the following issues.

1. What challenges will the changing economic climate have on the structure of farming and of rural communities and how can the RDP address these challenges?”
2. Biodiversity as a Resource for Agriculture and Rural Development
