Yes, we just want to try to balance it as much as possible. My next question is for the witnesses from An Taisce, who might educate me on this. I am going through the chart on the effectiveness of agricultural measures. If I have read it wrongly, they might correct me. It is saying, and I think it is agreed, that less nitrogen on land is better. Is that fair to say? Why are mixed-species grasses, which everyone is promoting, down as low? Am I reading it right?
