The AgriFacts Foundation and the Dutch provinces, united in the IPO, are at odds with each other about the figures for nitrogen-sensitive nature. The IPO contests AgriFacts' suggestion that nitrogen-sensitive nature is indiscriminately added to the Aerius nature map. She says this is decreasing. AgriFacts in turn rejects these claims.
Jaap Haanstra, chairman of the AgriFacts Foundation (STAF), announced in an exclusive column on Tuesday 10 November Boerenbusiness indicates that in the last 5 years the acreage of nitrogen-sensitive nature in the Netherlands is almost is doubled up to 200.000 hectares. This is important, because Minister Carola Schouten wants to apply a specific nitrogen policy in those areas in order to limit nitrogen overload.
According to STAF, the nature organizations themselves are allowed to update the nature map in Aerius and there is no administrative supervision on this from the province and government. Haanstra calls this 'downright shocking'. The IPO lets in a statement on this now know that "with the last update of Aerius, area was added, but also removed. Net area is less."
According to the provinces, filling in so-called vegetation maps, on which the policy is based, is outsourced via land owners (State Forestry Service and Natuurmonumenten) to so-called 'mapping bureau'. This includes ecologists. The results of these parties are then processed in a so-called habitat map, for which the provinces and Rijkswaterstaat are responsible. According to IPO, information from the vegetation maps is not taken indiscriminately, but a second opinion is found by a "number of experts in the field of habitat mapping."
Far-reaching consequences
STAF contradicts the claims of the IPO. The organization says: "The fact is that between 2017 and 2020 a total of 80.000 hectares of nitrogen-sensitive nature was added to the habitat map in Aerius. According to the IPO, there is actually a decrease, the IPO does not consider the past 5 years, as STAF does. But chooses only 1 year, while thousands of hectares of nitrogen-sensitive nature were also added in this year in the province of Gelderland."
It is distressing to STAF that the provinces ignore the point that there is no opportunity for stakeholders to participate in the entire process, while the decisions can have far-reaching consequences for agricultural entrepreneurs in an area.

You can still vote here
but when afterwards everyone gets into bed with everyone else, and their election promises end up in the garbage 1 day after that election,
when the independent media is gone and taken over by either the state or the oligarchy,
when the free internet is controlled and censored by internet giants on behalf of our state,
and when our liberties and achievements broadloom! be voted out with 1 stripe because of a flu,
and everyone accepts that because it is "democratically" decided,
I think many a public dictatorship would lick its fingers at this.
I would emigrate myself if I were you and take your leftist friends with you I would say. Nature in the Netherlands is a fairy tale and does not exist. Much too small country. People from the city think they understand the countryside and try to bend it to their will. It should be the case that people can only influence their own environment and leave alone farmers who have owned land for generations.
Nature is a good reason to get rid of the farmers. But to satisfy the desire to build, even forest may be killed. Just look at nedcar, they give them 100 hectares of forest for expansion. The government uses two standards. We'll never understand.

Indeed, people who escape trouble by joining the great leader do not emigrate. (I think there is a name for this)
luckily we are a free country because of people this did not emigrate after 1945
when Germany also became personal after 1930
