It was Martin Luther King Jr. who said, 'Before you finish eating breakfast in the morning, you've depended on half the world.' Our daily actions, the decisions we take, and the way we decide to spend our money have far-reaching consequences for other countries and people across the globe, as Delyth mentioned at the top of this debate. Estimates show that we would need over 1.7 Earths to keep up with our current level of growth and consumption.

Let's look at some commodities that link our agricultural sector to the wider world. Firstly, soy. We import just shy of 200,000 tonnes of soy every year. For this soy to grow, it uses up nearly 95,000 hectares of land. That's equivalent to an area larger than Monmouthshire, as Janet referred to. As we heard from Janet, soy is mostly imported into Wales in the form of meal and beans for livestock, with the Welsh poultry industry driving almost half of our soy feed consumption. But what we didn't hear was that nearly three quarters of the soy import-land footprint falls in countries that are at high or very high risk of deforestation and/or social issues, including Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina.

Now let's look at timber. In an average year, we import 768,000 cu m of wood raw material equivalent. Timber accounts for the largest land footprint of Welsh commodity imports. The average land area required each year to answer the Welsh demand for timber is 184,000 hectares. This is an area, as we heard, equivalent to two and a half times the size of Ynys Môn. The Welsh Government has laudable aims for tree planting, but compared to the trees felled to answer our consumption needs, those ambitions will barely make a dent. A fifth of the timber import-land footprint falls in countries that are at high risk for deforestation and/or social issues, including Brazil, Russia and China. Our timber consumption is actively driving the destruction of habitats, of native culture, and of the world's lungs.
