I ask the Deputy to let me finish this point because it is important. This is a global challenge. The Paris Agreement, which our sector must reflect, calls for reducing our greenhouse gas emissions without compromising food production. We face a fundamental question. There are those who advocate dismantling the national herd and in many respects dismantling the rural economy based on food production, cattle rearing etc. That is one school of thought. I do not subscribe to it.
