There will be no compulsory purchases as yet, but if enough farmers do not come forward, ‘with pain in the heart’ we will have to move towards compulsory purchase, nitrogen minister Christianne van der Wal told MPs on Friday. ‘There is no better offer coming.’

I expect this won't go over well in the Netherlands. There have already been confrontations between police and protesting farmers. These are the wages of a country going to war with its own people in pursuit of ideological goals.

I have no data, but would guess most farms have been in the same families for generations. Friction inbound.

Cheers

You have to wonder if there is something in the air that makes so many governments stupid ?

They have a nitrogen minister?

At this point it should be clear that governments aren’t doing things in the interest of their citizens rather they are working in lockstep to bring in agenda 2030 to bring about an authoritarian technocracy. Using climate change as an excuse to take away your rights and privileges.

The good old EU.

Is public opinion in The Netherlands in favour of these buy-out's or against them?

What worries me if that kids in the US these days think socialism is a good idea.
Fkn communists.

Let's force someone to buy a farm!
Then we can force them to grow crops to sell to pay for it!
Sounds just like freedom, right? That's not slavery at all...

This aint the EU. Just the Netherlands. Just imagine if they tried this in France. When governments start compulsory this and compulsory that it's time to look closely at their agenda and do something about it. But, when it is the government they have the police and army on their side. So unless the police or army wont go down that road (which is rare as they "follow orders") it's a done deal.

A good question for which I have no information. Perhaps one of our Dutch colleagues has insight.

But yes, I don't think on its own the Dutch government would have gone this course. Being part of the EU seems to make national governments largely tone-deaf to their constituencies.

But the purchases are being done in support of EU-determined objectives.

I also thought about the French, and, German farmers. How curious that no one is trying to force them off their land.


Cheers

This article should explain the situation. Basically, the Netherlands is hitting the limits of growth. Work conditions are so good for locals that they cannot get anyone to do the dirty jobs....so they need slaves....errr immigrants, which locals oppose.

Locals also oppose the farmers violating EU emissions laws, as livestock are based near conservation areas.


I see the same thing in most western countries.....

say, aint this the way Rome fell???????

thinking that will only lead to conflict and chaos.. we have this backwards thinking in the uk, buying up productive farmland to rewild just to offset bringing in more migrants, building more new homes for them and then trying to feed more mouths off less farmland.. mouths that want more meat not less..

no matter how you cut and dice it this highlights just how bankrupt the thinking is at all levels and how close we inch to collapse due to a serious lack in common sense..

in many instances the numbys are right as councils and builders do not care what they build or where aslong as its a greenfield rather than brownfield site.

they stopped a build here on the local recreation ground, ground that suffers from serious groundwater flooding, homes that neither council or builder cared would be under 2m of water each year, and how though damming, flooding and destroying a wetlands an SSI would allow them to build as though dams stop groundwater flooding..

I find this very interesting.

Checking out other sites -- rather than kneejerk reaction.

Thanks for thread.



The thing is, the Netherlands is one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters in the European Union, and it has one of the highest nitrogen balances in the region. In fact, this little land has a nitrogen balance of nearly twice the European average.

The Netherlands will find out how much they need their farmers just like South Africa did.

There they ran white farmers off their land and gave it to the blacks, who didn't know how to farm. Come to 2022 and South Africa is begging the white farmers to return and produce.

Things were working just fine in the Netherlands, and elsewhere, until the climate crowd threw a monkey wrench in the works. They're not happy unless they're destroying something.

Also thought this lady asked some important questions about Monsanto and Cargill.

Should probably know who this woman is. Vandana Shiva (born 5 November 1952) is an Indian scholar, environmental activist, food sovereignty advocate, ecofeminist and anti-globalization author. Based in Delhi, Shiva has written more than 20 books. She is often referred to as "Gandhi of grain" for her activism associated with the anti-GMO movement.

Shiva is one of the leaders and board members of the International Forum on Globalization (with Jerry Mander, Ralph Nader, and Helena Norberg-Hodge), and a figure of the anti-globalization movement. She has argued in favor of many traditional practices, as in her interview in the book Vedic Ecology (by Ranchor Prime). She is a member of the scientific committee of the Fundacion IDEAS, Spain's Socialist Party's think tank. She is also a member of the International Organization for a Participatory Society.

I personally would support all-natural farming -- but I am a realist -- and realistically the global population is: 8 billion people.

I'd say modern technology is required to meet the requirements for that number of people.

Have you ever visited the Netherlands? I have, several times and driven through the countryside. The stench is overwhelming; the whole country smells of pig manure. It's awful. I would never willingly return.

I am a realist.

I support science.

Environment issues are real -- not a conspiracy.
