Deep dives

The Dutch government's attempt to close one-third of the country's farms

The Dutch government has implemented a plan to close one-third of the country's farms under the pretexts of a nitrogen crisis and reducing carbon emissions. They claim that cow emissions contribute to climate change and have set a target of reducing cattle farms by 30%. However, this move has sparked massive protests from farmers who believe it is a blatant land grab by the government. The Netherlands is a small country but is the second largest exporter of agriculture products in the world, making farming a crucial industry. The government's actions not only threaten the livelihoods of farmers but also have severe economic implications for the country.
