You have some points I agree with .. but I believe that there does need to be a change on how we farm & raise animals worldwide. Were I disagree with what is happening to the Dutch farmers is how abrupt & steep these changes are issued in .

The farmers have the right idea, the Netherlands government has the WRONG idea especially given how important agriculture and food export are to the Netherlands economy.
Currently food prices are going up and up and up, war is causing food to double in price in many cases and it is only set to go higher.
But instead of growing food most EU and the UK's Farmers are growing rape seed oil and other fuel crop's to make jet oil?.
Why not food crop's when Europe is fully capable of more than self sustaining and did so for century's before this.
But no that's too intelligent for these FALSE Greens, no they want to destroy what agriculture we still have, blame the climate on cow farts and NEXT HUMAN FARTS to get ready for your fart tax.
This year ALONE China and India will have burned more coal and put up more CO2 than the rest of the world combined has done in recorded history.
So what are they getting out of this, the Carbon point's scam.
In any case, I'd need some concrete proof to even begin to consider
produce imports contribute to nitrogen use since it is not grown in
The Netherlands, surely you see the logic.
Let alone using it as a reason to justify confiscating land from an owner of a farm.

Not surprising mate - that was the same PM caught lying to everyone about his involvement with the WEF.

No. Things were not working just fine as you state. Things were working fine before a couple of farmers got greedy resulting in 98% of the farms belonging to just a few guys who are not even Dutch, and who happen to live in Dubai and trade their stuff in London and Frankfurt.
Things were not working when the sons and daughters of the farmer never ended up working in the farms, at all. Things were not working when those 3 farmers are far away from the manure, living in expensive villas, and looking at the stock exchange to see how richer they get. And know what? The price of the land has increased so much it is becoming more profitable for them to sell their land to build houses, and not precisely houses for immigrants (by the way, whom do you think work at the farms? The farmers' sons and daughters? Or guys from the Maghreb and Sahel at just 9 euros per hour?)
You seem to have a romantic idea about what a Dutch farmer is.
