Dr. Lilian O'Sullivan:

There is, as Dr. O'Mara said, a lot of fear around this. I recently published a paper that looked at the whole agricultural knowledge innovation system. There are many other actors who have a part to play in responding to the challenges that face the sector. One thing that came up was the area of coherence and messaging across all of the actors in this process. In general, we are working with our advisers on education and training. Irrespective of whether it is peat, mineral soil or organo-mineral soil, we are moving to taking into account the unique capabilities or intrinsic capacity of the soil, how it can best deliver for diversity along with production, on which farming land is focused, while also considering carbon, water regulation, the recycling of nutrients and so forth. This more holistic approach is being put forth or translated much more. We work closely on an ongoing basis in terms of upskilling and training and trying to get that information translated as quickly as possible so it can get out on the ground.
