I will just say, and this is a point as opposed to a question, that we need to go way beyond €1 million if we are to create a market for organics.

My final question relates to the sustainable beef and lamb assurance scheme and the carbon footprint report that Bord Bia carries out. Can Mr. O'Toole give the committee a little information in terms of how broadly a report of that nature would encompass? Does it take into soil type or other activities on a farm? There is a lot of discussion at this committee around forestry. Are those things taken into account in different farming techniques, for example?
