Overview

Exploration reveals climate change influences Irish potato production and consumption, highlighting food security challenges for small scale farmers.

Key Points

  • Majority (71.5%) of farmers sourced Irish potato seeds from previous harvests, indicating reliance on cyclical farming.
  • Significant 92.9% of farmers did not engage in value addition, highlighting a gap in market opportunities and income.
  • Pest and disease challenges, affecting 82.3% of respondents, were noted as critical issues in Irish potato production under changing climate conditions.
  • The study recommends training for farmers on seed selection to enhance Irish potato cultivation and address food security concerns.
