Agriculture is slightly different because in that sector we are able to count. It is not just about carbon dioxide but also nitrous oxides. Last year, the headline figure I gave was a reduction of approximately 4.6%. A lot of that was accounted for by the fact that our use of fossil-based synthetic fertilisers had significantly reduced - by approximately 30% - over the previous two years. The agriculture sector is actually bringing a significant reduction.
