If we change to biomass, do we run the risk of divergence away from cattle, given that farmers are price takers? Are we running a risk of food shortages? I asked whether there was any research into grain because craft brewers have forwarded evidence that a special grain was being produced in New Zealand or Australia. Is any research being done here into special grains that might be valuable?
