Dutch farmer protest: ‘Controlling the food supply is the best way to control people’

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch government plans to drastically cut emissions of nitrogen pollution cleared a key hurdle Tuesday when the European Union’s executive arm gave the green light to farm buyout schemes worth nearly 1.5 billion euros ($1.65 billion).

The plans to reduce nitrogen deposits — mainly by livestock farms — on EU-designated areas of vulnerable nature have sparked heated debate and widespread protests by angry farmers in this small nation that is a major producer and exporter of farm products. Dutch agricultural exports were worth 122.3 billion euros last year, according to the national statistics office.

The Dutch ruling coalition wants to cut emissions of pollutants, predominantly nitrogen oxide and ammonia, by 50% nationwide by 2030. It was not immediately clear how much of that target could be met using the EU-approved funds. Some 3,000 farms are expected to be eligible.

Nitrogen pollution makes climate change worse and can harm biodiversity, according to the UN Environment Program.

The EU has approved plans for the Dutch government to buy out farmers.

The scheme is part of the Netherlands’ plan to drastically slash nitrogen emissions, a major source of which is livestock farms.

Farmers in the Netherlands have been staging protests over emissions reduction targets since October 2019.

Nearly €1.5 billion will be used to compensate farmers who voluntarily close farms located near nature reserves. Some 3,000 farms are expected to be eligible.

The Dutch ruling coalition wants to cut emissions, predominantly nitrogen oxide and ammonia, by 50 per cent nationwide by 2030.

Why does the Netherlands want to close down farms?

Despite its small size, the Netherlands is the world’s second-biggest exporter of agricultural products by value behind the US. 

Dutch agricultural exports were worth €122.3 billion last year, according to the national statistics office.

Intensive farming has left the small nation with higher nitrogen oxide levels than EU regulations allow. These emissions worsen climate change and can harm biodiversity.
