Department of Agriculture

The Department of Agriculture is a pivotal entity in the agricultural sector, offering critical platforms and services that support farmers in managing their livestock efficiently. One of the key services provided by the Department is the application platform for the 2026 Nitrates Derogation. This derogation allows farmers to exceed the usual limit of 170kg of livestock manure nitrogen per hectare, enabling more flexible and productive farming practices.

Farmers can access this service through the Department of Agriculture's online portal, making it easier and more convenient for them to apply for necessary permits and manage their agricultural activities effectively.
