Rather a perfect example of politicians' and their lobbyists' (Or is it lobbyists and their politicans?) reality being decoupled from yours/ours. It's not like this whole thing isn't working out just because it doesn't do so in our favour. Leads to the question who benefits in what way and who pays for their gains. Leads to questionig who's represented by elected representitives and so on and so forh. Nevermind, this whole new global experiment sold to us as progress is totally based on oil. So #juststopoil? No! Use it up and let's find out who is favoured by mother nature. Managers, laweyers, politicans or folks who know how to produce food and live of the land? What would have happened to mankind if the stoneage would have run out of stones? But for now, rest asured. No need to worry about deep state in a union deep enough to render states mere vasalls.

Thank you for shining a light on the dire situation bestowed upon our lives' work. As a Dutch farmhand/someone who has worked in and around farming all their life, i can safely say you hit the nail on its head. Politicians are trying to ruin our sector with bad decisions and ultimatums. The protests we held did little to nothing to deter our government from driving us into extinction and, as you said, are pushing to decrease our numbers instead of letting us innovate. And if there's one thing the Dutch can, its solving problems and innovate. The future of our sector looks bleak so we need all the help we can get, not just in the Netherlands but the rest of Europe and the world aswell. Please help us close the gap between consumer and farmer, and make them see we are trying to provide for them, not harm them. And that if we fall, the rest of the economy will sadly follow.

[@aiurea1]

Do you think western farmers were prioritize by EU in comparison to eastern ones? All those subsidizes, the doublr standard. Did you see the news about w european milk bankrupting western african farmers?

[@MACHOMISTERYMAN]

@@aiurea1 i did not know of this, please tell me more

[@aiurea1]

@@MACHOMISTERYMAN at the present in Romania we import 80% of the pork meat we eat, 50% potatoes, eggs, apples in Romania a country that was traditionally in agriculture, animals... In 1997 our govt loaned 350 millions from the World Bank. One of the condition was that Romania privatizes or closea over 1000 state owen food production units. Those units were partly supported be state so the reasoning was that the state should not lose money. But the state lost far less money then when lots of food were produced in Ro and where it needed to compensate a part of the cost than now when we pay almost 100% of the cost to producing units outside our country. We closed those and now we are not able to feed ourselves. But the big retailers "saved us". They came with Wester suppliers, with low quality food subsidized by states like yours, way above Ro's subsidezes and made unfair competition. As we were poorer in Romania people often went for the lowest price. These retailers who are selling maybe 80% of total merchandise in Ro, as they already had suppliers, they ask for very low prices from local suppliers. If Ro producers want to enter big retailers in Ro, they have to obbey the conditions. Our milk producers are close to bankruptcy but the prices in the shops are very big, from what we are told close to maximum in EU. When we entered EU, the EU set us to be a raw material supplier and consumer of finished goods. This is the situation now. For example Spain is the biggest buyer of Ro corn but the biggest provider of pork meat in Ro. They buy our corn, send it to Spain and then sell it back with lower prices than we have. That is possible only with subsidizes and a low quality of meat. I don't know what tomatoes you have, but what we have at big retailers are shit. They don't compare with tomatoes from our peasants and even they don't have the same seeds as in the past. A few years ago there was a double standard issue with retailers selling goods with etiquets identical to those from W but with different compositions. They had to modify it so they have a low cost so that locals can afford it. It was, maybe still is an issue in the entire EE. One more info, last year we had a trade deficit of over 22 billiin eur with EU countries, Holand had excedent 328 billion. The EU is rigged. Even with the Uk grains, big traders, all foreingers are prioritizing Uk grains in Ro as it is cheaper, lowet quality, and it also forces Ro, Bg, Po...m farmers to sell their grains cheaper. EU needs to change, but the old states oppose as they lose their advantages. Holand has 40000kms, Ro 237000, we have much lower costs, better seeds, you should buy food from us, but it's mostly the other way around. I wrote a lot, I hope you read part of it. Good luck to you too

Very true, but how do you think we in the Netherlands get the food that feeds our livestock? That's right: our country is way to small to grow all the crops needed to feed our enormous livestock. That is why we import mindboggling amounts of soy and corn from places like Brazil where they burn down entire rainforests just to grow the soy we use to feed our animals with. So how close to our plate do these cows, pigs and chickens really grow? Funny how this is always left out in news that is financed by livestock feed companies...

False. Transportation makes only small portion of emissions. Huge ships pollute more than one medium city but they can carry so much stuff that per kg it's comparable to one tiny fart.

That means you continuously crop, which has a much greater need for synthetic fertilisers and even greater reliance of various herbicides, pesticides and fungicides. All of the chemicals are developing resistance, so are likely to be less effective in the near future. We can’t farm organically, unless you want to choose which 3 billion people should starve.

Italy's small farmers have been wiped away by the Common Agricultural Policy, since 1984. First by privileging bigger sized farms to receive EU subsidies, then capping the milk production with milk quotas. These policies are generally the outcome of nations power struggles inside the EU. Now EU politicians expanded their horizon and, in a Bismarck way, they decided not to fight anymore among Europeans on European soil but "Let's outsource all our foods and let the big transnational companies to scramble with environmental destruction and labour exploitation somewhere else far away, while strangling the European consumer with big capitalist oligopolies."

Wrong. The capping of milk production actually supported many smaller dairy farmers across Europe.

Every change in farming policies are most likely to affect food prices. It is unbearable that we in Europe are strangling farming with regulations and in the same time import food that is produced under circumstances we would not accept because it cost less! Especially Ecological farms are suffering under bureaucracy and low prices. We now see many Eco-farms switch to conventional farming.

Farming in the Netherlands is so big because of policy after the hunger winter of 1945. Never again hunger was the slogan. People tend to forget and history repeats....

[@bertvdl1178]

True but currently in the Netherlands the issue with the current agricultural situation is not the farmers themselves, but the livestock industry and the policies that support it. Here are some key points to consider: 1. **Land use**: In the Netherlands, 76% of agricultural land is used to feed farmed animals, which has significant environmental consequences 2. **Export**: 80% of the livestock products are exported, while the local people and environment suffer from the consequences of intensive livestock farming 3. **Environmental impact**: Livestock farming contributes to air pollution, water pollution, and the production of large amounts of waste, leading to unpleasant odors and other negative effects 4. **Subsidies**: The European Union provides substantial financial support to farmers, with nearly a fifth of the EU's total budget going to livestock farming[2]. This support often drives environmental damage and fails to provide broader social benefits[5]. 5. **Lack of reform**: Despite the known issues with livestock farming, the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has not set targets for reducing livestock numbers or significantly shifted its focus towards more sustainable practices[1][3]. To address these issues, it is crucial to reevaluate the policies and subsidies that support livestock farming. Redirecting funds towards more sustainable practices, such as extensive livestock farming, ecologically responsible methods, and predominantly plant-based diets, could help mitigate the negative impacts of the current system[6]. Additionally, incentivizing fruit and vegetable production could promote healthier and more environmentally friendly food choices[2].

A problem around here in Belgium is that we have way more lifestock than we actually consume. About 70% is for export. At the meantime we use huge swads of land and deal with big pollution issues from pesticides, manure and nutrients that damage our environment as well as our health. The governments don't want less farmers, the even want more small scale family farmers. They do though want less factory farming and less lifestock. To me it is quite insane that we use more than a quarter of our land to export meat which contributes to less than 1% of our economy and meanwhile is one of the main contributors to degradation of our liveable environment. At the moment we have 6 animals per inhabitant. Technological innovations that promised to reduce pollution didn't deliver at all and thus pollution keeps rising, just a bit slower. There are farmers that want to change but at the same time there are farmers, fed on by misinformation from lobbying groups and agro-industry, that try to block change wherever possible and reject evey measure that could be beneficial to both farmer and community. And so, rivers keep dying from algal blooms caused by nutrient overflow, roads and houses flood from erosion from fields (some farmland lost up to a meter of soil and now hits bare rock just because the farmers there didn't want to use "green" erosion preventative measures.) It's important to remember that no one wants farmers or foodproduction out of Europe, people just ask for much less meatproduction, less pollution and more nature inclusive farming. And as a society we should absolutly support family farms that want this change too.

You are correct. It’s very difficult to keep a farm going, let alone making a normal income.

[@Houthiandtheblowfish]

i think these farmers are going to leave to better countries that will import food from eu such as argentina and latin american countries with agriculture cheap land

Die Regierungen in ganz Europa zerstören bewusst die Landwirtschaft und machen Landwirte entweder durch Subventionen abhängig, oder verbieten die weitere Ausübung durch Gesetze, sodass Agrarkonzerne alles aufkaufen können. Agenda 2030. Dir wird nichts mehr gehören und den Großkonzernen, von denen du alles kaufen und mieten musst, wird alles gehören, und Schwab wird glücklich sein...

I think as a farmer in Belgium we would be better off going to a 3the world country to farm at this point

[@petersedliak4362]

Yes, if you want to do farming also in next 15-30 years, it will be not possible in EU and you will have to seek some opportunities in countries like Russia for this kind of business.

[@teammouse]

@@petersedliak4362 I would consider moving to Russia but seems like a bad idea with the war situation right now maybe when it’s over. And still I have to leave everything behind just so I could continue farming

[@teammouse]

Many people over here say farmers are poor and stink lol. No wonder farmers are quitting almost everyone seems to hate us and now politics are saying farmers polute so much with their cows and chemicals they really think you can feed millions of people without using herbicide and so on. They want it like back in the day all natural but we are to overpopulated to have enough food when you farm like that. Also people nowadays are saying food is to expensive and some supermarkets freeze their prices lol. Prices are like 5% up this year. For farmers prices raise much more but we have to live with it. They rather spend 1000’s of euro’s on vacation than spending a cent or 2 more on a proper meal. I’ve never ever heard them say in the news that airplanes polute the environment like crazy. The whole 3M teflon/ pefas deal was also quickly solved by adjusting the maximum allowed ppm in the water by a 100 or something. Meanwhile farm land maximum nitrogen values decrease yearly and now we aren’t allowed to spray or fertilize 5 meter borders around our fields

[@teammouse]

I meant multiplied maximum ppm by a 100

Is it absurd to reduce a large number of intensive cattle farming, which are held in hardly imaginable conditions? You tell me.

Interesting that they are trying to reduce emissions etc but not many countries who say: here's free RTK correction for you just start using autosteer and instantly save 10-20% on fuel...

I would be asking more why is the EU buying out farmers and their land? Seems pretty scarey considering the population density in Europe and co-dependence certain country's have on other country's.

[@petermaier78]

Because the Dutch farmers have been poisoning the ground for decades with the government turning a blind eye to this devastating practice by the farmers.

[@loutsont2985]

Good analysis. I'm a citizen of The Netherlands and have seen this coming for decades. Since the 1950's upscaling and efficiency and max produce is the word. Only since the 1970's science asked: what about the land quality - so sustainability? Our governments nearly always follow the mantra of neoliberalism ('free market') and certainly never spend money to actually solve problems. So here we are. The only realistic solution to the problems is, to amend the free-market ideology, and instigate a system of fair pricing of agricultural products. Farmers are mostly willing to adapt (once again!) and go sustainable, but only if their investing in the model is going to be profitable. Our governments for decades have helped big corporations to evade their taxes - nationally and internationally. So why not create a system of shielding the farmers from world market prices that were the result of unsustainable farming and market controlling policies? Because the EU does a split: be sustainable AND upscale staple food production, in fear of US- and BRICS monopolies. I would say: have balls and make a decision. Support regional markets so well that more farmers will go eco and use more land sustainably. Our produce deficit can be suppleted by imports paid for by revenue from our EU core business - industry and services. And ENFORCE those new regulations for AT LEAST a few generations of farmers.

Investing in and promoting alternative feedstock could make a much larger difference to reducing livestock methane emissions than harming farmers.

[@v8interceptor134]

U.K. here and those in charge are in discussions on livestock headcount limits , no clue what that will be but I have no doubt it’s coming , thing is there are huge areas of land already out of or doing little agricultural production , where we are it’s about half of land that used to produce something and now produces nothing , so who has done the calculations that say reducing farming will cut so called greenhouse gas emissions, my eyes are not capable of seeing said gasses as they are invisible to humans but what is visible tells me adding productive land to the already present unproductive land will make no fucking difference , somebody somewhere cannot use their eyes and is shit at sums

As a farmboy in Canada who is currently a pastor of a church for the last 30 years, I say two things. "Amen!" And, "Pray." We pray every Sunday in my church for this evil agenda to be stopped.

[@firesalamander100]

Also agriculture is one of the most heavily subsidized industries, so I do not understand the comment about an industry that doesn't receive any support - the Green Deal and Farm-to-Fork program are providing financial incentives to transition the livestock industry to more environmentally sound standards.

You do know, that most of this money ends up in machine production industries and buildings, so in the end it support jobs?
