It is. It doesn’t mean to say that we can feed ourselves, because 54 per cent of the food eaten in the UK is actually produced in the UK. That is the nature of where we live, because of where we live in the world. Having said that, of course, we wish to ensure that producers can be sustainable, that they can produce saleable food, and food that people wish to buy. That’s all-important. There is an opportunity to reconsider pillar 1 and pillar 2, and that, of course, comes under the CAP. If the CAP no longer exists, there will be opportunities to see whether we want to put that line there in the future. So, there are opportunities in the future, and there is an opportunity for farmers to help us to shape the policies for the future, but we have to have the funding to ensure that that can happen.
