Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion

All the Departments have been speaking about buying time to develop these alternatives. They seem to be forgetting, though, the whole sector and professionalism in that industry. They are already in the process of looking into alternatives. They are the ones who know their industry. They know what works right now and what does not work. Instead of Departments trying to buy time for themselves, they need to get these professionals on board and give them the time to adjust. I do not know if they would deal this, but the Department has to be realistic with the time-----
