AGRICULTURE STRATEGY GROUP 2005
Following a decision to refresh and refocus the Agriculture Strategy, the Agriculture Strategy Group (ASG) was established. Its overarching objective is to review and update the 2001 Strategy and to develop a strategy which builds on what has already been achieved and responds to recent developments in agricultural support.
