Text
I do not have the exact figures, but it is a ground-breaking and really welcome initiative. There is a conditionality associated with the farm sustainability payments that we give to farmers to take part in it. The reason for that is the benefits that it can deliver in relation not just to animal health and disease but to productivity and environmental outcomes. I congratulate and thank all those involved with the initiative, and I encourage all farmers to participate in it.
