My apologies for my mistake. Under the Heritage Act, where persons cut hedgerows for road safety reasons, they no longer have to report doing so to a local authority. Has that affected the accuracy with which we can measure hedgerows? Is it anticipated that, under CAP, the measurement of the carbon sequestration role of hedgerows will be done alongside their habitat role? Will we have a suite of measures under which farmers in GLAS or its next iteration will report? How detailed will the description of the quality of hedgerows be in that process?

On horticultural issues and food waste, are there measures around matters like heirloom diversity? That is a question for Dr. Haughey.

Are there tensions between fodder and food when decisions are being made in respect of land use? Land is used on a global level for ruminants, for fodder and for food.
