Professor Frank O'Mara:

Absolutely I do. It is a bugbear of mine that we have so much waste because stuff has to get discarded because of this. In order to grow straight carrots you have to take every stone out of the soil so it adds to the production costs apart from leading to more waste. There is an education piece to be aimed at the public. A crooked carrot is as nice as a straight one. It might take a bit more peeling or whatever but there are benefits of doing that from the point of view of waste, greenhouse gas emissions and all of that. Mr. Callaghan may want to add to that.
