Dairy farmers are very much wired to that anyway.
Most dairy farmers do fantastic stuff with their properties because it's their main asset and they want to keep it productive as well.
So we encourage planting of trees.
We encourage protection of waterways through planting of trees.
We do a lot of work with our farmers around creating sustainable farm practices and by being more efficient.
Yeah, I think so.
So a lot of work's been done around methane emissions.
What we find is with efficiency, so as farms become more and more efficient, they tend to get better and better carbon outcomes.
So the more you can get a cow to produce more
Each cow only produces the same amount of methane.
So the more you can get a cow to produce actually makes your carbon emissions at a product level better and better.
There's a whole lot of new farming techniques around sequestration of carbon within soil to help offset around cattle, the planting of trees.
So we think there's a huge amount of work that can be done.
Probably the bit that interests me is the energy piece and how we run our factories.
And so we're working pretty hard on that.
How do we eliminate gas from a lot of our factories, which are high gas users?
Yeah, so obviously just try and make your, so going from 22 factories to 15 is a start.
So that improves your emission footprint significantly.
We try and spend capital on making our plants much more efficient.
