I thank the witnesses and apologise for being late. I have to leave again shortly because I have a Topical Issue matter coming up shortly. C'est la vie. It is either a feast or a famine in this game. Apologies for missing the contribution but I read the opening statement. The witnesses might clarify a few things for me. What was meant by more efficient manure applications?
I read recently that there is an expectation around the potential use of seaweed as feed. Is this being considered? Is there any potential for carbon capture in the farming community, similar to the methods available in this regard to other industries, such that farmers could use carbon to their advantage?
