1.6.6 Food Wise 2025

​​​​​​1.6.6 Food Wise 2025

Since its launch in July 2015, Food Wise 2025 has evolved from a high-level strategy into a shared blueprint for all involved in the sector.  The agri-food and fisheries sectors are Ireland’s most important indigenous industry.  Food Wise 2025 sets out a vision of the industry, to help continue its course of growth, and recognising the importance of strategic foresight if emerging opportunities are to be fully realised in the decade ahead.

A guiding principle that Food Wise 2025 will seek to embed at all levels of the agri-food industry is that environmental protection and economic competitiveness are equal and complementary: one will not be achieved at the expense of the other. Food Wise 2025 also recognises that the three pillars of sustainability - social, economic and environmental – are equally important and carry commensurate weight.
