The very term "diversification" is about moving from one type of farming to another. You can do that in two ways. One is incentivising, while the other is supporting people to exit carbon-intensive farming. We all know that dairy farming is more carbon-intensive, certainly the larger dairy farms. Some, but not all, dairy farmers want to exit in order that they can move into another type of farming. When will the terms of the voluntary exit scheme for dairy farmers be published and when does the Minister expect this scheme to be up and running?
