Farmers' interests within all sectors want to jointly form 1 front in the nitrogen dossier. That intention was expressed yesterday on a specially arranged evening for this, according to a letter from Farmers Defense Force. The organization speaks of a 'legendary step'.
Last night (Thursday 24 October) all parties in the Dutch farmers' advocacy group put their heads together. 'With the exception of a single cancellation, all sectors were within livestock farming, intensive livestock farming, arable farming, fruit growing, unions, LTO, FDF and Agractie', FDF reports.
According to FDF, all organizations see the need and the willingness to form a united front to 'fight shoulder to shoulder now and in the future for the importance and survival of the Dutch agricultural sector.'
In the coming period, contacts will be further strengthened in order to further elaborate the plans. 'But the intention has been expressed to work together from now on; stop letting us play against each other and tackle threats, challenges and opportunities together. A legendary step in the history of the Dutch agricultural sector', writes FDF.
