I apologise for interrupting. I read that 18% of greenhouse gases globally come from ruminant animals.

We are part of an international community and this is an international challenge. I mean this as no criticism of the witnesses but it strikes me as extraordinary that internationally there has been no acknowledgement of this as a problem for which a solution needs to be found. I appreciate that there is no panacea. In fairness to the witnesses, what they are outlining is alarming because it is a minuscule contribution towards reducing the impacts. It is just worrying.
