Countries like Ireland, we we sort of take the easy route and we just import pretty much everything that we need.

Like for example, the loaf of bread you had today, I can guarantee you that the flour for that bread

was not produced.

The grain for that flour was not produced on this island.

It may have come from France, it may have come from Canada.

Now, France this year has seen its cereal harvests tumble by four to five million tons.

They've had one of the worst uh h harvests on record, obviously Ukraine and Russia, both their harvests are down.

And the critical thing for people to understand about this is that countries export their surpluses, Matt, right?

So let's say a country loses 20% of its uh grain production.

Now, what it does is it doesn't starve its own population.

It simply says, Right, we're not we we'll stop exporting and we'll feed our own population.

This happened, for example, in 2010.

There was a major drought where Russia uh curtailed grain exports and prices shot up.

So that this is the backdrop to my pitch.

And my pitch is a conservative one, I believe, and that is you know, we're awash with money, we keep hearing.

Let's look at ANORA for food.

How would it work?

Okay.

Well, the first thing to do, of course, is we need to build these uh large scale facilities to rebuild them.

And by the way, other countries across Europe have already done this.
