The excuse the (WEF run) authorities are using to shut these farmers down is "nitrogen" not "animal welfare".
Intensive farming creates excessive nitrogen pollution. Poor welfare standards encourages intensive farming.
Improve animal welfare, and you reduce pollution. Simple.
It does not matter how the Dutch government does it, but cutting nitrogen pollution will result in less intensive farming. From an animal welfare perspective, that is good. The US could learn something from this, as US farming practices are just as bad.

We can't feed 8 billion people on this planet without "intensive farming".

I disagree... we can't feed billions of people and be profitable without intensive farming.
It is the pressure of economy which we don't control (at all) that created these peaks and valleys of success.
When the metric is money - the actions cease to be about sustainability.

Hey Annee, regarding 'food' would really be interested in your thoughts on the WEF 'science' you promote and just how well the population of Sri Lanka are doing after initiating those 'policies'.
Am sure vast amounts of farmland are being bought up cheap though.
Is this the GMO controversy?

Stop blaming free market capitalism for the government collusion and corporatism. Your l
(Leftist) solution is always to fix the problems created by big government by bringing in more big government. Its exactly this thought process which is the root of the problem.
