I think there's both the near term and the longer term pieces of this, and that's what we've been discussing.

Near term, it's looking, and this is a topic which has come up at the G7, the G20, European policymakers, U.S. policymakers have all been looking at how do we address issues around fertilizer, not using food as a weapon as well, because you do have a tendency in times of crisis to Countries close their borders.

But with a supply chain, which is now global in basis, that can have a lot of unintended consequences and needs to be addressed.

If we look at what's happening in the EU, you've seen an increased focus on the fertilizer, which I mentioned, so trying to help farmers and also move forward ways to make the overall food system more resilient.
