Our evidence does not support the conclusion ‘GLAS scheme is not working’

We recently published an article in the Irish Journal of Agricultural and Food Research entitled ‘A comparison of grassland vegetation from three agri-environment conservation measures’.

 

A media report of our research had a headline “GLAS scheme is not working, claim experts”. This headline is not supported by the evidence presented in our research article. Here, we explain the main results of our research, and then address in why we disagree with this heading.
