Agriculture Collective: quickly providing nitrogen solutions

The Agricultural Collective wants to come up with solutions in the short term to break the nitrogen impasse in the Netherlands. The newly established collective, in which 11 Dutch farmers' representatives have united, reports this in a statement. 

The covenant, of which Aalt Dijkhuizen is the intended chairman, is working on solutions for the nitrogen problem in which agriculture, in its own words, is not being irreparably damaged. The organizations within the collective are of the unanimous opinion that agriculture and horticulture are not the cause of the current nitrogen impasse, but can be part of the solution. "Agriculture and horticulture, an important pillar of our prosperity and quality of life in the countryside, must not become the burden of the bill."

According to the collective, an economic recession must be prevented. A condition for this is that the permit granting process must be resumed as soon as possible. The parties involved have agreed to make an inventory of all possible solutions. These are arranged, selected and elaborated at a subsequent meeting in order to arrive at solutions. The plan is then discussed with other parties involved, such as the central government, the provinces and the Nitrogen Taskforce, which was set up by VNO NCW and MKB Nederland.

Members of the Agricultural Collective are representatives of Agractie, Dutch Dairymen Board, Farmers Defense Force, LTO Nederland, NAJK, Dutch Arable Farming Union, Netwerk Grondig, the Dutch Federation of Noble Fur Animals, the Dutch Dairy Farmers' Union, the Dutch Poultry Farmers Union and the Pig Farm Producers Organization. .
