No Farmers, No Food: Dutch Farmers Uprising in Response to Government Proposal to Close Farms to Reduce Nitrogen Emissions. Ecuador Indigenous Organize General Strike in Response to Rising Prices and Neoliberal Policies.

The Netherlands Government has proposed closing farms to reduce nitrogen oxide and ammonia 50% by 2030.

According to Al Jazeera:

“Nitrogen emissions are to be cut by more than 70 percent in areas close to nature conservation areas. According to government estimates, this could lead to the shutting down of about 30 percent of livestock farms.”

The Netherlands was the second largest exporter of agricultural products in 2020.

According to the Dutch government, meat is a primary export. Livestock farmers are specifically targeted under nitrogen oxide and ammonia reduction politicians.

Dutch agricultural exports exceeded 100 billion Euros in 2021:
