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

Insanity. Do they think food magically appears in supermarkets?

Closing down farms to decrease food production so citizens can starve. Kinda reminds one of Stalin and the state of Ukraine back in the Depression era. Turned out great for Stalin. Not so great for the ~3.9 million Ukrainians. Hey, Stalin has his reason and so too the Dutch goobernment. Its only dead people after all. Bet a bunch of Dems in Congress would like to get a little bit of the action here at home.

Yes #1 they do. And for the wealthy elites it always will.
The rest of us, bugs or just starvation. What they are doing to farming around the globe reminds of the movie Soylent Green. Removing people from the land, shoving them into sterile dangerous cities, and as for food, we haven't seen the half of what they will "manufacture" for us to eat while they dine on wagyu and lobster and sip fine wine.
Always remember.. WE are the carbon they wish to reduce.

"Will be offered a deal worth well over the value of their farm." Yeah, right.
Have you ever seen the kind of "offers" we in the US get on eminent domain situations? Pretty much outright theft, but legal because "Government."

After the corpses of famine victims are finished decomposing into carbon, the plan pretty much works.

This is all the WEF Davos elite crowd’s doing.
“It’s MY way or the HIGHWAY.”
Is there a “right to bear arms’ in the Netherlands? If so, what happens if ALL farmers say NO?
They should just STOP all food production right NOW and see how that works.

There is nobody stupid enough not to see through this. They are trying to kill their own citizens. Oh wait, we accepted the covid shot, and its the same thing.
And the ones who advocate for this will be surprised when their support will not prevent them from being killed.

Watch what happens. The government will buy/take the farms. Then in a few years they will change their minds and decide they need that land to be farmed and will "sell" it. But not back to the original owners but to politically well connected farm companies. Then they will complain about how bad big farm capitalism is and something should be done about it. When in fact it was the government that created big farm and they intend to never do anything about it.

Parliamentary system. These governments can fall with a vote of lack of confidence. Rutte and his party should be fired now.

Where does food come from? It comes from the grocery store. Where does money come from? It comes from the bank. Where does stupidity come from? It comes from Klaus.

Covering their head with a plastic bag. Eventually, the air runs out. Terminate all the government officials who are doing this to the people they're supposed to protect.

Good luck with replacing the produce and meat production. Nitrogen pollution? This has everything to do with implementing the UN Agenda 2030. Pollution is the excuse. Control is the reason.

First they came for the energy providers, and the Europeans did nothing.
Then they came for the food producers, and the Europeans did nothing.
... And then the Europeans had had enough and killed every government official in sight.
It takes a while, but it's what Europeans eventually do. Don't believe me? Where did both world wars start?

So what is the Netherlands going to do when they run out of food? So to Joey for a free handout like Joey is prone to give out freely?

Might as well open the dikes and flood the polders too. Nature didn't intend for man to have more land than it could provide naturally.

Coming soon to a farm near you! Oh, wait. This has already been going on. Who controls the food, controls the people. Centralized agriculture in the Soviet Union showed us that.

Can you imagine being farmers in the Netherlands, a farm that survived for decades, through WWI and WWII? Now the eco-elites are forcing you to shut it down? Heartbreaking. The people of the Netherlands MUST STOP this. If they don't, they deserve what is coming...

They need that farmland to revert to its wild natural state so that there are more trees for the people to cut down to heat their homes since they aren't allowed any natural gas or oil production . No food, no energy, what a great idea! Europe is going back to the middle ages. Next up, invasion by Muslim hoardes taking over Europe (already happening).

Not to worry I'm sure those making the rules are prepared to feed all the people depending on those farms, probably at their own dinner tables.

Saving the planet.
Starvation is good.
Didn't the Chinese use starvation as a weapon during their Communist takeover? The country the world should emulate? No doubt in the name of the greater good.

There is no such thing as personal property or land ownership.
It all belongs to the Government and they allow us to use it as long as we do as they say.

65% of the Netherlands is supposed to be under water at high tide so the only way to preserve nature is remove all the dikes.

Obviously Sri Lanka taught nothing to those in charge ! Stalin used the same approach -
starve the 'dissidents' !
Don't worry - Joltin' Joe B. will take care of you. The U.S. has plenty of food and money and .....
We'll send you all the food, and money and anything else you may need'!
Think that isn't the plan ?? Strap in and watch !
The 'youngsters' have been 'dumb-ed down' so much over the last few decades
that they DO believe food magically appears in grocery stores, along with believing
that electricity come out of the wall outlets !! Ignorance raised almost to an art form !
There is a quotation by H.L. Mencken that stated something about hoisting the black
and start ................... you can look up the entire quote.
That time, IMHO, is rapidly approaching for these people - and others elsewhere in the world !
Weapons aren't needed. Sometimes, depending on the seriousness of the situation,
bare hands are quit sufficient ! Not advocating a course of action, just say'in.
