    The purpose of the MoU is to build a stronger, more effective working relationship between the Agency and farming community that will help deliver improved environmental outcomes in ways that support farm profitability.

    The MoU contains measures which will deliver higher levels of environmental compliance, contribute to the achievement of relevant Directives and Programme for Government targets and which should increase the profitability of farm businesses through sustainable farming and innovative, resource efficient practices.
