This week I began my research into past schemes and how they have been designed. I read a detailed review on REPS regarding their success and failures. Many of their failures could be directly linked to the design on their schemes. This gave an interesting look into how the design of a scheme has a direct impact on the outcome.
I also attended the Agri Career Fair in the RDS Dublin. This was a great opportunity to meet people from different agricultural backgrounds and discuss my project with them.
