we are the only one that is working with a rothamsted model to signal when you would choose to do that to bee pollination. to non—flowering crops. yes, but the point is, still, these chemicals enter the water system. they are very difficult to break down. in europe, they have absolutely decided the right thing to do is to ban them. i am just interested that the farmers�* union, while saying it is utterly committed to getting to net zero and being a sustainable, responsible custodian of the environment, still supports using this chemical. it�*s the wrong message, isn�*t it? you are not actually right about europe. france has not used the modelling process on the neonicotinoids for sugar beet. they have not modelled and they have been able to get derogations to use it, as have other countries. for us, we havejust got the precision breeding bill through, which will be a game—changer, but are we really going to say with the most sustainable beet production in the world that we�*re not going to do it here, we are just going to export our conscience and our production, or are we going to try

we have got some of the best science institutions in the world here — rothamsted, niab, the wakehurste we are on soil health, carbon sequestration, so what is not working, we can make better. what is working we can reward. that is not happening. right. it is a very complicated system, it seems. i mean, the government has unveiled a plan for england which involves over 200 different practices that they will finance on farms, all connected, they say, to better environmental management, but your own director of trade and business strategy nick von westenholz says farmers are going to receive significantly less support. that, of course, will impact their incomes. so, as we make this transition to, say, farming is less about — focused on food production — and more focused on being good custodians of the soil, the water sources, and the environment. are farmers actually going to get poorer? without doubt. coming out of the cap, losing direct support, and the current scheme, which is predicated on what we called the income foregone model. so that you have to — you do stuff, effectively, but
