Offered Papers Theme C: Delivering the Benefits from Grassland
Description
Important structural changes have taken place within the agricultural workforce in recent years. There has been a persistent decline in the proportion of the total workforce engaged in agriculture. Demand for labour by farmers has become a major issue, and if this shortage continues it will have a significant impact on the development of Irish farms in future (Ruane et al., 2001).
