Mr. Paul Price:

I am definitely not advocating that. All I am saying is that if we are talking about GHGs, we can look at a country such as Denmark, which is focused on animal agriculture and provides a comparator. Ireland is focused on animal agriculture. What did Denmark do? Denmark had high nitrogen inputs and high rates of nitrogen fertiliser use. It had a fair volume of grass in its system in terms of feeding improvements. That was the case back until approximately 1985. Denmark has since dropped its fertiliser use and basically abandoned grass and they have gone into sheds. That is what one can say about that. It is what they have done and the result is far lower nitrogen excretion affecting water and so forth, although Denmark still has water problems. It also has far lower methane emissions. In agriculture here we have approximately double the methane emissions of Denmark but Denmark has greater animal protein output.
