Thank you. That's quite the platform. I appreciate that.
Pulses have a built-in advantage in that we don't have to use nitrogen fertilizer. The pulse crop pulls the nitrogen from the soil, so we don't have to use nitrogen fertilizer. There's a massive.... The numbers I cited are literally because we are not applying nitrogen fertilizer. We're reducing it. Our goal, as a sector, is to increase the number of pulses on acres. The beneficial aspect of pulses is that they need to be used in rotation. You use a pulse, and the next year you use canola. That canola gets a beneficial nitrogen bump, as well, because we're fixing that nitrogen in the soil. We have a great advantage.
Obviously, pulses are huge elements of food security, globally. We're seeing a burgeoning processing side. We're seeing lentil flour, pea flour and pea protein going into a variety of different food products. We see it as a win-win for climate change, the entire farm rotation and the farmer, as well as for health, nutrition and everything else.
We're quite lucky with the intrinsic value of pulses, for sure.
