The Minister has repeatedly told me that the agriculture sector will move towards an approach to carbon neutrality which does not compromise capacity for sustainable food production. We are still waiting for a definition of carbon neutrality, yet emissions from the agriculture sector are rising year on year, in accordance with the policy set out in the Food Wise 2025 plan. This question relates to the measures in place to deal with the extra manure produced. It asks if the Minister is keeping track of the worsening situation in terms of the effect the Department's policy is having on the atmosphere and climate change globally.
