    Extractions: Appendix A:Consultations Given the importance of the more inclusive approach to achieving environmentally sustainable agriculture discussed in this report and the need for dialogue with all of those affected, extensive consultation was undertaken with producers, processors, government and environmental groups. Interested parties were given the opportunity to comment on numerous drafts of the Strategy as well as to participate in a variety of meetings, workshops and discussions. The consultation process does not imply formal endorsement of the Strategy from all those consulted. However, the contents have benefited from direct input by a broad range of stakeholders. Moreover, the conclusions and current contents received concurrence at a national workshop prior to finalization. Of primary importance was the involvement of representatives from the agriculture and agri-food sector. The new National Agriculture Environment Committee, a producer group with representatives from across the provinces and major commodity organizations, was the primary vehicle for consultation with producers. All committee members received drafts of the Strategy and some attended meetings and workshops. Consultations also extended beyond the farm gate to include representatives from the input (e.g. fertilizer, crop protection), processing, wholesaling, retail and food service industries.

    Extractions: "Agriculture, Environment, Rural Development" A dynamic European agricultural and agri-foodstuffs sector Progress in gross added value and trade of the agricultural sectors was maintained following the reform of the CAP in 1992, at the same time allowing a policy which is on the whole more environmentally friendly to be put into place. Keywords gross added value, trade, agri-foodstuffs, CAP Changes in agricultural employment The number of people employed in agriculture continues to fall. The family unit remains the basic structure for holdings. However, new types of employment (resulting from diversification) and new types of organisation (part-time work) are beginning to emerge. Keywords employment, CAP, structure of holdings, family employment, part-time Crop trends and environmental impacts Between 1975 and 1990, the ploughing up of meadowland favoured the production of maize for fodder and sale crops. Crop production was intensified (increased inputs, simplification of crop rotation systems). This high pressure agriculture has had a profound impact on the environment (notably diffuse pollution). The reform of the CAP in 1992 has reduced production by introducing set-aside and has put in place agri-environmental measures. Keywords crop production, ploughing up of meadows, sale crops, intensification, CAP, set-aside
