The Dutch government plans to buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to comply with EU nature preservation rules.
The Netherlands is attempting to cut down its nitrogen pollution and will push ahead with compulsory purchases if not enough farms take up the offer voluntarily.
Farmers will be offered a deal “well over” the worth of the farm, according to the government plan that is targeting the closure of 2,000 to 3,000 farms or other major polluting businesses.
Earlier leaked versions of the plan put the figure at 120 per cent of the farm’s value but that figure has not yet been confirmed by ministers.
“There is no better offer coming,” Christianne van der Wal, nitrogen minister, told MPs on Friday. She said compulsory purchases would be made with “pain in the heart”, if necessary.
The Netherlands needs to reduce its emissions to comply with EU conservation rules and agriculture is responsible for almost half the nitrogen emitted in the proud farming nation.
The Dutch environment agency has warned that native species are disappearing faster in the Netherlands than in the rest of Europe and that biodiversity is under threat.
But the new plan looks set to reignite tensions with farmers over nitrogen reduction.
Dutch farmers have staged mass protests, burnt hay bales, dumped manure on highways and picketed ministers' houses over the last three years.
Sanchez encourages people to eat insects, in part, to lighten environmental footprints. Farmed insects produce far less greenhouse gas and require much less land and water than conventional livestock. Insects also generate more biomass with less input. Crickets, for example, are 12 times more efficient than cows at converting feed into edible weight.
Already, 2 billion people eat insects, according to one estimate — primarily in parts of Africa, Latin America and Asia. The practice dates back millennia. “I always thought, even back in the ’90s, someday, maybe, [Americans] will do this,” Sanchez says.
Call me close-minded but it doesn't mean that they're not out to kill off all of us... :) Lunatics are running this asylum, and you thought gun confiscation is bad... :) They already took away the kids from parents into their cults.... Wait until they take your food away... :)
Just kidding. Everything is great!

Estimates are that way more than 3,000 farms will close..."to comply with crackpot European Union carbon dioxide emissions rules. It’s possible that eventually more than 11,000 farms will be shut down, and 17,600 forced to sharply cut their livestock numbers."
And the same strategy is wreaking havoc on our side of the pond:
"On our side of the Atlantic, the malefactors are also busy. Just the News is reporting that the Environmental Protection Agency is quietly quadrupling the regulatory cost of carbon emissions in a new war on fossil fuels, which is, of course, also a war on the food supply.
“If you think about the fact that they would impose this damage factor, let’s say on farmers, because it applies to fertilizer,” Louisiana Solicitor General Liz Murill said on the John Solomon Reports podcast. “Fertilizer emits nitrous oxide. So fertilizer is a big contributor. If every family farmer now is going to have to pay more to obtain fertilizer to fertilize crops that feed us, well, what’s that going to do to the price of food?”

The funniest thing is that even when the "unwashed masses" finally figure out that all that "green planet" suicide pact brainwashed into them is nothing more than the way for elites to put all of them "unwashed" into graves ASAP in most compostable fashion for the "elite"'s descendants to "inherit the earth" - they will just continue signaling their suicidal virtues munching on cockroaches until cockroaches will munch on them all...

Netherlands is one giant farm. It’s smaller than the state of West Virginia but has a massive farming presence.
From the internet. “ In 2021, there were 99.9 million chickens, 11.4 million pigs, 3.8 million head of cattle, 0.8 million sheep and 0.5 million dairy goats.”

Ahem.... well.... but seriously... comparatively around 18% of France is arable land and 11% of Germany is arable land compared to the Netherlands iin which almost a quarter of the nation is "arable". (World bank figures, and I'm not sure whether that reflects what is actually under cultivation, nor if "arable" denotes the part used for livestock) That's a pretty big swath of the economy to kill, it would seem.

I want to know what the elitist fucktards plan on doing when all the poors are dead and they don't have anybody to do the farming for them.
There will always be "poors" to feed /serve the elitist... If the the unwashed masses (that's us by the way} get too low in numbers to feed/serve them, then they'll make more! By taxation or imperial decree or importation, they can always create a lower class... Just think if they shut down parts of the internet, (banking and tech, tik-tok?) how many of the middle class would be forced to work in what we call menial jobs just to feed themselves and families... maybe I'm getting into tinfoil hat area now I think

Elites better get their robots perfected because they won't know which servants to trust.

[Beto O'Rourke Suggests Police Would 'Visit' Homes To Implement Proposed Assault Weapons Ban] "In that case, I think that there would be a visit by law enforcement to recover that firearm... ..."If someone does not turn in an AR-15 or an AK-47, one of these weapons of war...then that weapon will be taken from them"
...To Rebel News, Vlaardingerbroek said, "They're taking away property because they see a future for us in which we'll be completely dependent on the state. We eat bugs, they own your land." She added, "'You'll own nothing and you'll be happy'" — quoting a meme that's become internet shorthand for the "Great Reset."...
...as the farmers' cause has been adopted by the far right, both in the Netherlands and abroad, it's grown into something larger and uglier. According to those narratives, the new regulations are part of a globalist "Great Reset" intent on imposing liberal authoritarianism across the world. Global elites, in this view, are orchestrating a food crisis in order to subdue unruly populations, and Dutch farmers will be displaced to make room for new immigrants, in a literal recapitulation of the "great replacement" conspiracy theory shared by European and American white supremacists."
That's what Dutch gov-t will offer to the world instead of their famous meats and cheeses:
