I vaguely understand that point. When I asked the question I was wondering if we could ever produce food in the cutaway. Obviously this land has produced an economic return from the employment generated by turf cutting. Other than using the cutaway for using up carbon, can we put sheep or other animals on it? Other than stabilising the site, is there any possibility of commercial agricultural activity on any of the 80,000 ha?
