The agenda of today's meeting is land use and maximising its usage and potential. The concern is that hydraulic fracturing, if it were to go ahead, could have a knock-on impact on the environment in an area that has Natura sites and agricultural land. I appreciate the delegates may not have been expecting a question on fracking but the issue is the environmental impact on farming or land use.
