Rachel, yes. Rachel, go on.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
No, that's a clear message, I think, from all of you. Thank you, George. Okay, we're going to move on swiftly then. I think, Janet, you're going to take us on to talk about the different layers in the proposed schemes, because we haven't touched on that.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
Well, that's—. Is that a song? I'm not sure. There we are. Anyway, George, very finally, then, and briefly, because we do have three other areas and we've got 15 minutes left.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
No, that's a clear message that's coming through, on a number of occasions. Gareth, very briefly, and then we do have to move on.

Gareth, do you want to come in?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
Okay. I'll come to Huw first, and then, maybe, Aled, you can pick up on that.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee

Okay. Rachel.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
Right, who wants to start us off on this one? Go on then, Gareth.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
Okay. We'll have to move on, I'm afraid. The other point I would make in reference to what George has just said is we have received evidence from Professor Iain Donnison, who will be before us later on today, who highlights the fact that the Climate Change…

Yes, George.

Thank you. Jenny, then, before I bring George in just to wrap this up.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
Yes, okay, diolch. I'll come to Aled. Then I know George wants to come in, and then we'll go to Janet to take us on to the next area of questioning. Aled.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
So, Gareth firstly then, and I'll come to Aled then to address the dairy and the carbon issues as well, and maybe orchards as well.

Can we just take Jenny's comment as well, because I am conscious of the time?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
Sorry, Jenny, Huw wants to come in. I'll then allow Jenny to make a comment and then I'll bring Gareth in, just to wrap up this area.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee

Okay, there's a lot there. Thank you for that.

Let's invite George in first.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
Okay. Some clear messages there. Diolch yn fawr. We'll move on to our next subject area. Jenny, I think you're going to lead us on this one.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
I'll move on, if I may, if that's okay. Diolch. We've had some evidence—the Soil Association, Nature Friendly Farming Network and others have been advocating moving to a more results-based approach to payments, rather than actions, when it comes to habitats…

Gareth first of all, and then I'll bring Rachel in.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS): evidence session with farming representatives
Indeed. You're right, yes, and that introduces a whole other discussion, I'm sure, but it's a point well made. We'll skip on, I think. Jenny, you wanted to come in on this subject area as well, I think; we'll come to you next.
