Thank you, First Minister, for that answer. Recent statistics show that Wales was the only part of the UK to maintain its excellent recycling rates during the course of the pandemic, and I'd like to thank every Welsh citizen and council worker who did their bit to make that possible. Another remarkable achievement is the fact that food waste here in Wales is converted via anaerobic digestion, creating sufficient power for 12,000 Welsh homes. First Minister, I know that you share my ambition to make what is good even better, not least by reducing food waste in the first place. So, can I ask how is Welsh Government engaging with both businesses and public sector bodies throughout the supply chain to reduce food waste?
