The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, T.D., and Minister of State with responsibility for farm safety Martin Heydon T.D. today announced the launch of the ACRES Training Scheme.
The ACRES Training Scheme is jointly funded by the European Union and the National Exchequer under Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027. The Terms and Conditions of the Scheme are available on the Department’s website here.
The Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme (ACRES) requires all ACRES participants to attend a single compulsory ACRES Training Course in the first year of their participation in ACRES. This is to facilitate knowledge transfer and acquisition of information on specific actions, complemented by on-line demonstrations/advice on good environmental practices.
The ACRES Training Scheme (ATS) is accordingly being provided to enable ACRES participants fulfil this requirement.
While the ATS complements ACRES, it is a separate measure in Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan (CSP) and is provided under Article 78 of EU Regulation 2021/2115.
The Scheme is jointly funded by the European Union and the National Exchequer under the CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027.
