English: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. I must confess that the looks on many of my colleagues' faces when it was announced that we were having a debate on the application of big data in agriculture could be best described as puzzled, but I can assure the Assembly that this is not the result of some esoteric whimsy on behalf of the sponsors. The practical implications of big data in farming are huge. Precision agriculture is about innovation, productivity, software and skills. This is not some obscure tech project; this goes to the heart of some of the most pressing challenges we face, like austerity, food security and climate change. We are generating, capturing, storing and processing data at speeds never before witnessed. Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, once claimed that every two days we now generate the same quantity of information that was created between the dawn of time and the year 2003 - every two days. The total amount of data being captured and stored by industry globally is doubling every 14 to 15 months. We're approaching the point where we'll be able to code nearly everything we do. The challenge for our and future generations is to exploit the power of big data to improve our lives - to harness the algorithm.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Mae'n rhaid i mi gyfaddef mai dryslyd yw'r ffordd orau o ddisgrifio'r olwg ar wynebau llawer o fy nghyd-Aelodau pan gyhoeddwyd y byddem yn cael dadl ar ddefnyddio data mawr mewn amaethyddiaeth, ond gallaf sicrhau'r Cynulliad nad canlyniad rhyw ysmaldod esoterig ar ran noddwyr y ddadl yw hyn. Mae goblygiadau ymarferol data mawr mewn ffermio yn enfawr. Mae amaethyddiaeth fanwl yn ymwneud ag arloesi, cynhyrchiant, meddalwedd a sgiliau. Nid rhyw brosiect technolegol di-nod mo hwn; mae'n mynd at wraidd rhai o'r heriau mwyaf sy'n ein hwynebu, fel caledi, diogelu'r cyflenwad bwyd a newid yn yr hinsawdd. Rydym yn cynhyrchu, dal, storio a phrosesu data ar gyflymder nas gwelwyd erioed o'r blaen. Honnodd Eric Schmidt, cyn Brif Swyddog Gweithredol Google, ein bod bellach yn cynhyrchu cymaint o wybodaeth bob deuddydd ag y crëwyd rhwng dechrau amser a'r flwyddyn 2003 - bob deuddydd. Mae cyfanswm y data sy'n cael ei ddal a'i storio gan ddiwydiant ledled y byd yn dyblu bob 14 i 15 mis. Rydym yn agosáu at y pwynt lle y gallwn godio bron bopeth a wnawn. Yr her ar gyfer ein cenhedlaeth ni a chenedlaethau'r dyfodol yw manteisio ar rym data mawr i wella ein bywydau - harneisio'r algorithm.
English: Precision agriculture is at the vanguard of this data revolution. It's a rapidly developing area where information is being applied to food production and land cultivation to dramatically improve productivity and reduce harm to the environment. In arable farming, for example, this approach enables farmers to gather a wealth of real-time information: water and nitrogen levels, air quality, disease - data that isn't just specific to each farm or to each acre, but to each square inch of our farmland. Using this information, algorithms can tell the farmer exactly what each square inch of land needs and when and, with pinpoint precision, produce the maximum possible yield.
Welsh: Mae amaethyddiaeth fanwl ar flaen y gad o ran y chwyldro data. Mae'n faes sy'n datblygu'n gyflym lle y caiff gwybodaeth ei defnyddio i gynhyrchu bwyd a thrin tir er mwyn gwella cynhyrchiant yn sylweddol a lleihau niwed i'r amgylchedd. Ym maes ffermio tir âr, er enghraifft, mae'r dull hwn yn galluogi ffermwyr i gasglu cyfoeth o wybodaeth amser real: lefelau dŵr a nitrogen, ansawdd aer, clefydau - data nad yw'n benodol i bob fferm neu i bob erw yn unig, ond i bob modfedd sgwâr o'n tiroedd amaeth. Gan ddefnyddio'r wybodaeth hon, gall algorithmau ddweud wrth y ffermwr beth yn union sydd ei angen ar bob modfedd sgwâr o'r tir a phryd, a chynyddu cynhyrchiant i'r eithaf mewn modd eithriadol o fanwl.
English: I thank very much Lee Waters for introducing this debate and securing this debate and also for giving way here. But, would he agree as well, in his opening remarks, that this is also an issue of social justice? Precision agriculture and all it entails can confuse people, but it's actually been identified as part of the solution of how to feed that estimated growing population - to 9.1 billion by 2050. It's not the be-all and end-all, but it's one of the tools we have to feed that growing population.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn i Lee Waters am gyflwyno'r ddadl hon a sicrhau'r ddadl hon, a hefyd am ildio yma. Ond a fyddai'n cytuno hefyd, yn ei sylwadau agoriadol, fod hyn yn fater o gyfiawnder cymdeithasol yn ogystal? Gall amaethyddiaeth fanwl a'r cyfan sydd ynghlwm wrthi ddrysu pobl, ond mewn gwirionedd, nodwyd ei bod yn rhan o'r ateb i'r broblem o sut i fwydo poblogaeth yr amcangyfrifir y bydd yn tyfu - i 9.1 biliwn erbyn 2050. Nid dyma'r unig ateb, ond mae'n un o'r arfau sydd gennym ar gyfer bwydo'r boblogaeth gynyddol honno.
English: I'd like to call Andrew R.T. Davies.
Welsh: Hoffwn alw ar Andrew R.T. Davies.
English: My apologies, I don't intend to intervene too much. But would he agree as well that one of the exciting opportunities of this, with the exponential growth in big data, is actually what we could do on the environmental aspect, because the endless rounds of inspection, inspection, inspection and monitoring, monitoring in the traditional form could be, to some extent, done away with by the accuracy of the big data monitoring of what is actually happening on the ground?
Welsh: Fy ymddiheuriadau, nid wyf yn bwriadu ymyrryd gormod. Ond a fyddai'n cytuno hefyd mai un o'r cyfleoedd cyffrous sy'n deillio o hyn, gyda'r twf cynt gynt mewn data mawr, yw'r hyn y gallem ei wneud mewn gwirionedd ar yr agwedd amgylcheddol, gan y gellid cael gwared ar y rowndiau diddiwedd o arolygu, archwilio, adolygu a monitro, monitro ar ei ffurf draddodiadol, i ryw raddau, yn sgil cywirdeb monitro data mawr o'r hyn sy'n digwydd ar lawr gwlad mewn gwirionedd?
English: There is huge scope for that, and as someone, obviously, who has been regularly inspected, having been in farming for 25 years, I see the pros and cons of that because the landscape is a moving feast, and the rigidity very often of a snapshot from a Google image or something that inspectors are relying on does cause some problems very often. But there is scope to improve that aspect of it as well. I do welcome the motion before us. I believe we could have filled a lot more time looking at this particular aspect, because I do think that it's a genuine area that Government can make a big difference in, the industry can make a big difference in, and our research and business sectors can also deliver for what promises to be an exciting and dynamic century in the world of food production and, indeed, the availability of new technology.
Welsh: Mae cyfle enfawr i wneud hynny, ac fel rhywun, yn amlwg, sydd wedi cael ei arolygu'n rheolaidd, ar ôl bod yn ffermio ers 25 mlynedd, rwy'n gweld manteision ac anfanteision hynny gan fod y dirwedd yn wledd symudol, ac mae'r diffyg hyblygrwydd yn aml iawn sy'n gysylltiedig â chiplun o ddelwedd Google neu rywbeth y bydd arolygwyr yn dibynnu arno yn achosi problemau'n aml iawn. Ond mae lle i wella'r agwedd honno ar bethau hefyd. Rwy'n croesawu'r cynnig ger ein bron. Rwy'n credu y gallem fod wedi llenwi llawer mwy o amser yn edrych ar yr agwedd benodol hon, gan fy mod yn credu ei fod yn faes dilys y gall y Llywodraeth wneud gwahaniaeth mawr ynddo, maes y gall y diwydiant wneud gwahaniaeth mawr ynddo, a gall ein sectorau ymchwil a busnes hefyd gyflawni ar gyfer canrif sy'n argoeli i fod yn un gyffrous a deinamig ym maes cynhyrchu bwyd ac yn wir, o ran argaeledd technoleg newydd.
English: I'd like to call Simon Thomas.
Welsh: Hoffwn alw ar Simon Thomas.
English: I thank you and I will now call on Huw Irranca-Davies to reply to the debate.
Welsh: Diolch i chi a galwaf yn awr ar Huw Irranca-Davies i ymateb i'r ddadl.
English: Thank you, Chair. Can I say what a good debate this has been? We've had seven contributions, including myself, plus, of course, the Cabinet Secretary, and I've been struck by the level of consensus on the potential for this technology in Wales and, as Lee Waters, who introduced the debate, says, to use this, as I think his phrase was, 'western furnace of innovation'. I think he's right, and Lee reminded us about the benefits that this technology can yield: potential crop yield improvements, environmental, benefits to farmers' income both in this country and, as Jenny Rathbone also said as well, internationally as well. Where people are on a much more subsistence level of farming, the benefits could be, arguably, even greater. He talked about the innovations at Coleg Sir Gâr and at Gelli Aur farm and at Aberystwyth University - it's great to pass by, actually, where those trials are taking place in Aberystwyth University on forage grasses - and the innovation that's already going on and the potential of the application here in Wales. Andrew R.T. Davies reminded us, in fact, that some of this technology is already routinely in place, and GPS technology is used by many, many farmers nowadays - the use of satellite imagery for precision application of fertilisers. He urged us to rise to the challenge to develop these new growth areas, which was a common theme across many contributors today - indeed, I will give way.
Welsh: Diolch, Gadeirydd. A gaf fi ddweud bod hon wedi bod yn drafodaeth dda dros ben? Rydym wedi cael saith cyfraniad, gan fy nghynnwys i fy hun, ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wrth gwrs, a chefais fy nharo gan lefel y consensws ynglŷn â'r potensial sydd i'r dechnoleg hon yng Nghymru, ac, fel y dywed Lee Waters, a gyflwynodd y ddadl, i ddefnyddio'r hyn a alwodd rwy'n credu yn 'ffwrnais arloesedd orllewinol'. Rwy'n credu ei fod yn iawn, ac atgoffodd Lee ni o'r manteision y gall y dechnoleg hon eu creu: gwelliannau posibl o ran cynnyrch cnydau, amgylcheddol, manteision i incwm ffermwyr yn y wlad hon ac fel y dywedodd Jenny Rathbone hefyd, yn rhyngwladol. Lle y mae pobl yn ffermio mwy ar lefel cynhaliaeth, gellid dadlau y gallai'r manteision fod hyd yn oed yn fwy. Soniodd am y datblygiadau arloesol yng Ngholeg Sir Gâr, ar fferm Gelli Aur ac ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth - mae'n wych pasio'r fan lle y cynhelir y treialon ar laswelltau porthiant yn Aberystwyth mewn gwirionedd - a'r arloesedd sydd eisoes yn digwydd a photensial ei gymhwyso yma yng Nghymru. Atgoffodd Andrew R.T. Davies ni, mewn gwirionedd, fod peth o'r dechnoleg hon eisoes ar waith fel mater o drefn, a defnyddir technoleg system leoli fyd-eang gan lawer iawn o ffermwyr y dyddiau hyn - y defnydd o ddelweddau lloeren ar gyfer defnydd manwl o wrtaith. Fe'n hanogodd i wynebu'r her o ddatblygu'r meysydd twf newydd hyn, a oedd yn thema gyffredin gan lawer o'r cyfranwyr heddiw - fe ildiaf, wrth gwrs.
English: I'm now moving on in life at the princely age of 48, and, as my sons keep telling me, I should be put out to pasture, so much so that our latest bit of big data kit, called the Scorpion, they keep me well away from for the damage I might cause with that. But it's an important point that we need to be educating and allowing people to develop through the industry so they can make use of these data, because there's no point in having them if you can't use them.
Welsh: Rwy'n symud ymlaen mewn bywyd ar yr oedran tywysogaidd o 48, ac fel y mae fy meibion yn dweud wrthyf o hyd, dylwn gael fy rhoi allan i bori, cymaint felly fel eu bod yn fy nghadw'n ddigon pell oddi wrth y darn o offer data mawr diweddaraf sydd gennym, a elwir yn Scorpion, rhag y difrod y gallwn ei wneud ag ef. Ond mae'n bwynt pwysig, fod angen i ni addysgu a chaniatáu i bobl ddatblygu drwy'r diwydiant fel y gallant wneud defnydd o'r data hwn, oherwydd nid oes unrhyw bwynt eu cael os na allwch eu defnyddio.
English: I just want to turn, and I'm not sure, madam deputy speaker, how many minutes we have -
Welsh: Roeddwn i eisiau troi, ac nid wyf yn siŵr, Fadam Ddirprwy Lywydd, faint o funudau sydd gennym -
English: Keep going - I'll tell you when you sit down.
Welsh: Daliwch ati - fe ddywedaf wrthych pryd i eistedd.
English: Thank you very much. The proposal is to agree the motion. Does any Member object? [Objection.] Object. Therefore we'll defer voting under this item until voting time.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Y cynnig yw derbyn y cynnig. A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu? [Gwrthwynebiad.] Gwrthwynebiad. Felly byddwn yn gohirio'r pleidleisio o dan yr eitem hon tan y cyfnod pleidleisio.
English: We now move to item 7, which is the Welsh Conservatives debate on business rates. I call on Russell George to move the motion.
Welsh: Symudwn yn awr at eitem 7, sef dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig ar ardrethi busnes. Galwaf ar Russell George i gynnig y cynnig.
English: Megan Lawley: 'Hello, my name is Megan. I have a clothes shop in Newtown. I've just had my new draft rates come through for April 2017, and they've gone up substantially. I'm now in the position where I have to make a decision whether I move to Shropshire, where I'd get full relief, or I close my business. I'd really appreciate that the Welsh Government could back small businesses and help people like me throughout the country.' Alex Martin Jones: 'There were times when I was borrowing money off family to cover the business rates when I first started, because it kicks in straight away. The VAT bill you have a bit of play with and everything, but the business rates - bang! They kick in.' Chris Studt: 'So, if you have just opened a business, then you should be at a stage where you're doing the place up. Should you really be paying rates whilst you're doing somewhere up? And should there be a little bit of bedding-in time, so that you can get the business on its feet?' Katia Fotiadou: 'It would have helped if we'd had that little bit of relief, especially in the six months when we weren't trading, as there was no money coming in. There was only money going out. And yet, we had to still pay every month, for six months, half of what we pay for rent here as business rates. Maybe some discount for the first year, or for the six months, or something like that, I think, would probably work and encourage people to set up businesses in the empty units that are all over the place.'
Welsh: Megan Lawley: 'Helo, fy enw i yw Megan. Mae gennyf siop ddillad yn y Drenewydd. Rwyf newydd gael drafft o fy ardrethi newydd drwodd ar gyfer Ebrill 2017 ac maent wedi codi'n sylweddol. Rwyf bellach mewn sefyllfa lle y mae'n rhaid i mi benderfynu pa un a wyf yn symud i Swydd Amwythig, lle y buaswn yn cael rhyddhad llawn, neu a wyf am gau fy musnes. Buaswn yn gwerthfawrogi'n fawr pe bai Llywodraeth Cymru yn gallu cefnogi busnesau bach a helpu pobl fel fi ledled y wlad.' Alex Martin Jones: 'Roedd yna adegau pan oeddwn yn benthyca arian gan y teulu i dalu'r ardrethi busnes pan ddechreuais yn gyntaf, oherwydd ei fod yn dod yn weithredol ar unwaith. Mae gennych le i anadlu rhywfaint gyda'r bil TAW a phopeth, ond yr ardrethi busnes - bang! Dônt yn weithredol ar unwaith.' Chris Studt: 'Felly, os ydych newydd agor busnes, dylech fod ar gam lle rydych yn addurno'r lle. A ddylech chi fod yn talu ardrethi wrth addurno lle mewn gwirionedd? Ac a ddylid cael ychydig o amser i ymsefydlu er mwyn i chi allu cael y busnes ar ei draed?' Katia Fotiadou: 'Byddai wedi helpu pe baem wedi cael y tamaid bach hwnnw o ryddhad, yn enwedig yn ystod y chwe mis pan nad oeddem yn masnachu, gan nad oedd unrhyw arian yn dod i mewn. Dim ond arian yn mynd allan oedd yna. Ac eto, roedd rhaid i ni ddal i dalu bob mis, am chwe mis, hanner yr hyn rydym yn ei dalu'n rhent yma fel ardrethi busnes. Rwy'n meddwl y byddai ychydig o ostyngiad efallai am y flwyddyn gyntaf, neu am chwe mis, neu rywbeth felly'n gweithio yn ôl pob tebyg, ac yn annog pobl i sefydlu busnesau yn yr unedau gwag sydd dros y lle ym mhobman.'
English: I have selected the two amendments to the motion. If amendment 1 is agreed, amendment 2 will be deselected. I call on the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government to formally move amendment 1 tabled in the name of Jane Hutt. Cabinet Secretary.
Welsh: Rwyf wedi dethol y ddau welliant i'r cynnig. Os derbynnir gwelliant 1, bydd gwelliant 2 yn cael ei ddad-ddethol. Galwaf ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol i gynnig gwelliant 1 a gyflwynwyd yn enw Jane Hutt yn ffurfiol. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet.
English: Thank you very much. I now call on Adam Price to move amendment 2, tabled in the name of Rhun ap Iorwerth. Adam.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Galwaf yn awr ar Adam Price i gynnig gwelliant 2, a gyflwynwyd yn enw Rhun ap Iorwerth. Adam.
English: [Continues.] - far higher than their rents. Llywydd, we welcome a review of business rates, however it's too little, too late. We call for an immediate cap on the multiplier and take a proactive approach to radically reform our really outdated business rates system in Wales.
Welsh: [Yn parhau.] - yn llawer uwch na'u rhenti. Lywydd, rydym yn croesawu adolygiad o ardrethi busnes, ond mae'n rhy ychydig, yn rhy hwyr. Galwn am roi cap ar unwaith ar y lluosydd a gweithredu dull rhagweithiol o ddiwygio ein system ardrethi busnes hynafol mewn ffordd radical yng Nghymru.
English: I do agree; that was an issue that was raised with us. I think part of the issue is that there's a confusion between - . It's not a Welsh Government problem here, but it's the valuation office that sets the valuation, it's the local authority that collects the funding, and then it's the Welsh Government that distributes the money centrally. I think businesses just don't understand that, and that's part of the issue. It's not the Welsh Government's responsibility entirely, but that's part of the issue that is causing, I think, a lot of the confusion.
Welsh: Rwy'n cytuno; roedd hwnnw'n fater a ddaeth i'n sylw. Rwy'n credu mai rhan o'r broblem yw bod yna ddryswch rhwng - . Nid yw'n broblem i Lywodraeth Cymru yma, ond y swyddfa brisio sy'n gosod y prisiad, yr awdurdod lleol sy'n casglu'r arian, ac yna mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn dosbarthu'r arian yn ganolog. Rwy'n credu nad yw busnesau'n deall hynny, a dyna ran o'r broblem. Nid cyfrifoldeb Llywodraeth Cymru yw hyn yn gyfan gwbl, ond dyna ran o'r broblem sy'n achosi llawer o'r dryswch, rwy'n credu.
English: Absolutely. That is, in fact, what we heard, and I was going to hope that the Welsh Government could take steps to help clarify that as part of the review, but, obviously, recognising it's an issue across all parts of the UK in -
Welsh: Yn hollol. Hynny yw, mewn gwirionedd, yr hyn a glywsom, ac roeddwn yn mynd i obeithio y gallai Llywodraeth Cymru roi camau ar waith i helpu i egluro hynny, yn rhan o'r adolygiad, ond yn amlwg, gan gydnabod ei bod yn broblem ar draws pob rhan o'r DU yn -
English: Will the Member take an intervention on that point?
Welsh: A wnaiff yr Aelod dderbyn ymyriad ar y pwynt hwnnw?
English: I think, with that recognition, I think perhaps Russell George would recognise the Conservatives have grossly underestimated the complexities involved in reviewing business rates to make a more progressive system, but that's what the Government has committed to do, so that's indeed what we're likely to see.
Welsh: Gyda'r gydnabyddiaeth honno, rwy'n meddwl efallai y byddai Russell George yn cydnabod bod y Ceidwadwyr wedi amcangyfrif yn llawer rhy isel y cymhlethdodau sy'n gysylltiedig ag adolygu ardrethi busnes i greu system fwy blaengar, ond dyna beth y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi ymrwymo i'w wneud, felly dyna rydym yn debygol o'i weld yn wir.
English: I call on Welsh Government to put high-street regeneration at the top of their agenda. Thank you.
Welsh: Galwaf ar Lywodraeth Cymru i roi adfywio'r stryd fawr ar frig eu hagenda. Diolch.
English: I also want to concentrate on the high-street businesses. It is an incontrovertible fact that there is a dramatic decline in high-street shopping across the whole of Wales. This, of course, is a problem shared throughout the rest of the UK, but it seems Wales has been hit harder than many other parts of the country. We have to ask the question: can this decline be halted, or at least alleviated? One very salient fact, heard time and time again from those engaged in the high-street retail industry, is that of parking fees. Parking fees are a direct tax on the retail trade. Yes, there are many other problems, pointed out today, particularly with regard to rates et cetera, most of which have been addressed by previous speakers, but I believe this is one aspect that cannot be ignored and is instantly redeemable. The problem is, of course, councils find this revenue flow, sometimes substantial, a very welcome addition to their budgets, so much so that many councils have chosen to increase this cash flow year on year. For instance, Newport was up 113 per cent between 2014 and 2015. Bridgend had an increase of 108 per cent for the same years, as did Merthyr at 83 per cent, and Carmarthen was up 76 per cent -
Welsh: Rwyf innau hefyd eisiau canolbwyntio ar fusnesau'r stryd fawr. Mae'n ffaith ddiymwad fod gostyngiad dramatig mewn siopa ar y stryd fawr ledled Cymru gyfan. Mae hon, wrth gwrs, yn broblem a rennir ledled gweddill y DU, ond mae'n ymddangos bod Cymru wedi cael ei tharo'n galetach na llawer o rannau eraill o'r wlad. Mae'n rhaid i ni ofyn y cwestiwn: a ellir atal y dirywiad hwn, neu o leiaf ei leddfu? Un ffaith amlwg iawn a glywyd dro ar ôl tro gan y rhai sy'n ymwneud â'r diwydiant manwerthu ar y stryd fawr, yw ffioedd parcio. Mae ffioedd parcio yn dreth uniongyrchol ar y fasnach fanwerthu. Oes, mae yna lawer o broblemau eraill, fel y nodwyd heddiw, yn enwedig mewn perthynas ag ardrethi ac yn y blaen, ac mae'r rhan fwyaf ohonynt wedi cael sylw gan siaradwyr blaenorol, ond rwy'n credu bod hon yn un agwedd na ellir ei hanwybyddu ac mae modd unioni'r sefyllfa ar unwaith. Y broblem, wrth gwrs, yw bod cynghorau yn ystyried bod y llif refeniw hwn, sy'n sylweddol weithiau, yn ychwanegiad i'w groesawu i'w cyllidebau, cymaint felly fel bod llawer o gynghorau wedi dewis cynyddu'r llif arian hwn o un flwyddyn i'r llall. Er enghraifft, roedd Casnewydd i fyny 113 y cant rhwng 2014 a 2015. Cafodd Penybont gynnydd o 108 y cant ar gyfer yr un blynyddoedd, fel Merthyr ar 83 y cant, ac roedd Caerfyrddin i fyny 76 y cant -
English: Can I just ask the Member if he can confirm that, although the daily rates for parking in Merthyr are £3.50, there is actually a monthly parking rate of only £29, which is a considerable reduction for anybody having to use those car parks on a regular basis?
Welsh: A gaf fi ofyn i'r Aelod a all gadarnhau, er bod y cyfraddau dyddiol ar gyfer parcio ym Merthyr yn £3.50, fod yna gyfradd barcio fisol o ddim ond £29 mewn gwirionedd, sy'n ostyngiad sylweddol i unrhyw un sy'n gorfod defnyddio'r meysydd parcio hynny'n rheolaidd?
