What would a proper plan look like from the point of view of the IFA? What would need to be included in it to encourage the necessary investment - the large numbers to which Mr. Cullinan referred - in alternatives? The horizon is clear in terms of climate change and the need for all sectors to do their bit. The agricultural sector is ready, willing and able to step up but it needs to know what the pathway is. What needs to be done? What are the components of that plan that would need to be shown to farmers to encourage them to make that type of investment in methane plants?
