I have to say I am supported by 100 producers. They support me. I've put in the time, in the past few years, in meetings, and I've put the energy into it. Of course, we had some producers convinced. Among others, one producer was convinced that he had to go into the energy field in agriculture. That really helped. Obviously, when we spoke to governments, local development agencies, we had to convince people that revitalizing a rural area had to be done through agriculture and through local consumption. That's the main challenge because this is a completely new concept. Producing and consuming locally is something very new for a number of people. We have to convince all levels of government of that principle.
