Mr. Bill Callanan:

As a civil servant, I take the responsibility very strongly and ours is not to advocate. We have identified that the way to communicate this is there are three areas focused on. One is the question of reducing fertiliser usage and changing type, the second is breeding and feeding, in other words, improving the genetic merit and the likes of feed additives, and the third is diversification. I can assure the committee the Department of agriculture is engaged across all those platforms in trying to drive the MACC into policy.
