About the event

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) has launched a consultation on its draft Ammonia Strategy - the first of its kind for Northern Ireland - and is keen for anyone with an interest to participate and provide their views.

Responses to this consultation will inform a reworked strategy with proposed targets for 2030 that will help to secure the restoration of biodiversity, ecosystems, and the services they provide, while also facilitating the sustainable development of a prosperous agri-food industry.

This public consultation is open for a period of 8 weeks until 23:59, 3 March 2023. We welcome as many views as possible from all interested organisations and individuals.

An information event has been organised at each of the three CAFRE campuses. 

Greenmount Campus 24th January 2023, 

Enniskillen Campus 25th January 2023 and 

Loughry Campus 31st January 2023.   (Find other locations on Eventbrite.co.uk)

Each meeting will commence at 7.30pm and last approximately one hour.
