Greenpeace ruling a major blow to agriculture

22 January 2025 - Klaas van der Horst - 72 comments

The court in The Hague has dealt a hard blow to agriculture with the verdict in the case of Greenpeace against the Dutch state. All agricultural organisations agree on this, from LTO Nederland to Agractie. The former finds the judge's demand unrealistic, the latter calls on the government to urgently amend legislation. LTO now wants this too.

The court agrees with Greenpeace on a large number of points when it states that the State has done and is doing too little to protect Dutch nature from nitrogen pollution, including by setting aside the National Rural Area Program (NPLG). According to the court, the State must therefore still make a strong effort to achieve previously established targets of a 50% emission reduction in 2030, under penalty of a penalty payment, and the most overburdened nature reserves must no longer be overburdened.

The reactions from the political world are divided. The BBB and SGP believe that the state should appeal. The PVV also believes that the court should not shut down the Netherlands because of nitrogen, but not all parties think so. Minister of Agriculture Femke Wiersma says in a first reaction know that there is more than just nitrogen and that a broader consideration is needed in matters that concern nature. She also indicates that the cabinet is considering an appeal. She believes that nitrogen should be an integral part of a broader consideration. 

Ruling with far-reaching consequences
The Nitrogen Claim Foundation (SSC), which participated in the lawsuit as a third party, is also disappointed and states a first reaction that the court assumes various inaccuracies, such as the share of agriculture in the deposition on sensitive nature and where it speaks of an increase in deposition in 2018. SSC is also considering appealing.

Lubbert van Dellen, market director Agro & senior business advisor at Flynth is also concerned and thinks that the cabinet cannot avoid investigating an adjustment of the rules, for example through consultation with Brussels. Implementing what the court wants in full would amount to evacuating a large part of the Netherlands. Especially since the current ruling comes on top of the Council of State ruling of 18 December. That makes all new emissions since 2020 retroactively subject to a permit, he notes.

Following the latter statement, the cabinet decided last Friday to set up a special government committee to look into the nitrogen problem. It is not yet known who will be in it, but the first signals are that the committee has already started work almost immediately. With even more urgency since the Greenpeace statement. The point is that, whatever solutions the committee proposes, both the VVD and NSC and the BBB and PVV must agree to them. In the meantime, there are considerable differences in vision on the matter between the two camps that could put the relations within the cabinet on edge.

This is in response to it Boerenbusiness article:
[url = https: // www.boerenbusiness.nl/artikel/10911696/greenpeace-uitspraak-grote-dreun-voor-landbouw]Greenpeace ruling a big blow to agriculture[/url]
Holman must have his ass kicked mercilessly, the BBB is doing everything it can to get unfeasible nitrogen rules adjusted, and that Holman, together with van Campen, is doing everything it can to thwart that, you would have voted for that Holman as a farmer. I hope that Keyzer, Wiersma and Rummenie will stand their ground and get the coalition on one to get the nitrogen law, contrived by the left, adjusted so that it becomes feasible, affordable and executable. BBB should not lend itself to destroying the sector, they should leave that to Holman.

If I have followed it correctly (and I have), then the intention is not to destroy the sector. The sector must continue in a different and inevitably slimmed-down way. With innovative tricks, almost everyone has had enough by now. The previous cabinet had a good plan and a generous budget. Little of all that remains due to your vain hopes (read: the mirages of the bbb). How are you going to solve this with common sense!?

If anything in the Netherlands needs to be built or renovated, first buy farmers, if new roads need to be built, first buy farmers, if the Netherlands wants to keep flying, first buy farmers, if nature is doing a bit worse somewhere (a hobbyhorse on the left), first buy farmers and I could go on like this for a while, that has nothing to do with a slimmed-down form, this is a demolition construction, nothing more and nothing less. We have reserved some money for you and now get the hell out, that was the D66 message that is increasingly taking shape.

Do not cooperate. Make a law with other realistic standards and do not take nature as a starting point but put the own population at number 1. Housing construction, pass reporters and companies free rein. By the way, a 10 million fine is not something to lose sleep over and certainly do not pay to those green rascals.

Discussions will be needed here. The spokesman for housing is angry because the spokesman for agriculture wants to appeal. Talk!!. The entire agricultural product processors, as broadly as possible, must help out here. For example, the livestock farmers cannot do without the sugar industry, the chip processors cannot do without livestock farming, the brewers cannot do without livestock farming, residual products from consumer products such as chocolate. etc. Defense must invest ..% of the NBP in weapons. If all processing industries would, for example, create a kind of first aid for nitrogen problems. How is it in Belgium and Germany, will they continue like this, or is it already in order there, or does the Netherlands need to freshen up this air. The greens only care about 1 thing, whichever party, and that is LESS LIVESTOCK, also for animal welfare. We have 5 years. Not much, but not insurmountable. Let us all help, even if only mentally. I wrote a letter to NSC after the previous trick of lazy sjarel Holman. I also said that with that statement at the time, not much will remain of the NSC, only the bones. I wish the cabinet, and all who can do something for this difficult issue.

I've come to the point where if you stop all human activity within a radius of 25 kilometers to remove most Natura 2000 areas, you will still have an overload according to current calculations.

nonsense arie, nothing at all should happen in agriculture, farmers added instead of removed yes! all that growing population must all eat.... we do not have to deal with Brussels we have created this problem which is not a problem ourselves if you point out 150 dots too much nature and say yourself can only emit a little mosquito poop then everything is too much, stay focused ej arie takkie and not hobble along like millions of meek sheep with their hooves down behind the pack. the farmers are ready in this discussion for the next 25 years investing in hot air. think of new grids new stables, buffer strips / green agents, edge caps drift-poor spraying / fertilization that the crop can no longer grow from etc etc etc etc. we as farmers have let ourselves be completely destroyed. now it's enough to lie down side by side in front of it, we're not doing anything anymore, billions are being passed on under the table by Carpenters to thwart and manipulate agriculture in Brussels and The Hague, it's been a big lie from the start and the sector that is best for nature is agriculture and that's being caught!!! Schiphol Tata traffic car roads etc. houses construction windmills solar panels on the ground discharge industry into open water open sewer medicine residues ecstasy in water?? everything is running smoothly that's possible........ but no we need the farmers sad sad arie I had estimated you much higher d66,er

Core of truth. I have been to the livestock farming region on the Veluwe. There are a few places where the liquid manure literally and figuratively runs out of the spouts, but this does not have to lead to very large shifts. There will certainly be companies that experience this, that want to be of good will. I do think that they should stay away from the latent nitrogen.

Pay 10 million, but not to those activists and unlock the whole thing. You can completely ignore the statements of the Council of State. Build as much as you want, what is standing and inhabited will not be demolished. Do not consult officials of LNV but set rules in a law yourself, with realistic standards, see vd Heij. Scrap Aerius because of assumptions.

What I mean is that there are now +/- 18 million people living in the Netherlands and if you believe the scientists that there will be more than 20 million within 20 years. The question is and remains, the livestock must shrink while the population increases that has to live, work and recreate, what is the environmental benefit, especially if the houses are built on agricultural land? I dare to say that humans cause more environmental damage than a few cows or sheep walking in a meadow.

I completely agree with you. Protesting will not work. But the government is simply taking good agricultural land out of production. Defence will also have to go to good agricultural land. Everything depends on nature. Unfairly divided. If the farmer has to make concessions, so must nature, construction, flight movements, chemical factories, and so on. Something has to be done, that much is clear, but there are many innovation possibilities if you read it like this, but it costs quite a lot of money, and the government is not going to help finance this, because agriculture in general has to go. Together with producing, processing, transporting and so on, we will have to take this under our own management, so that we do not need the government. Even stronger: We have to eliminate them. That way we can become and remain strong, and comply with the rules. We are too bothered by politics. We have to try to get a jealous political The Hague through our own efforts. We are too dependent, and they abuse that in The Hague. We have to become autonomous.

We will have to comply with European regulations. What has the government already achieved? Comply with the allowance rights, natural gas Groningen. They are always too late or too early, but never on time. As Dutch agriculture, we must make a big fist with everything on it. Taking to the streets (I liked doing it) does not help in a positive sense. Euros will be a very big obstacle. We have also always adopted a wait-and-see attitude, so they did what they wanted. Take control into their own hands. They should not decide on our business operations. Make sure that we have things in order, and do not change the rules during the game. Make good agreements

Well, you're not such an expert. D66 can shout all sorts of things but you shouldn't listen to them. Introduce new rules in the law and ignore the Council of State and certainly not EUROPE. If it suits you, other countries such as Poland, Hungary, France, Italy and Greece, for example, will go their own way. You don't let your own country be destroyed.

This coalition has a very shaky crippled base, and the opposition knows that very well. A purple coalition is a solution, but getting it together will not be easy. If there were elections now, it would not be possible without the PVV. That would only be possible with the PVD, SP, Volt. Denk, and then together with the VVD, CDA and CU.

There was a documentary on TV a few weeks ago about the earth being overpopulated. A number of experts/scholars stated that a population of 2 billion people on this earth was the limit to not burden the earth any further. It is a number that you can discuss but if you translate this to the Netherlands for example, the population here would be a maximum of 5 million people. Many problems would then solve themselves.

I have also written what we should do with the surplus. That is the government's problem, isn't it, and not the farmer's? And there are also others that everyone has and may have their respected opinion about. Salted or unsalted. And yet the government says that companies from abroad are very welcome. Farmers reduce?

The sector that would have the biggest problem if there were 3/4 fewer people? Agriculture of course. Then suddenly 3/4 of our sales are gone while the surface of agricultural land is still the same. I don't see how that would fall into the category "many problems would solve themselves".

I have written here before (1x) and wondered: Should we and the rest of the surplus emigrate? It is just like that, and reclaiming the North Sea is also quite something. Making nature areas smaller or clearing them up will not help much, but you could still build a lot of houses there.

This morning in the newspapers a statement from the wur, which by the way was also suggested by the bbb. These 4 researchers have investigated that each N emitter should have its own ceiling. I think this is a good proposal. This is business-oriented, so then no company has to reduce emissions for another. Here the number of animal places could be maintained. So they are talking about all companies, so not just agriculture. I think we should all support this, then we should not give in to the greens. And if someone says, I want to be bought out! Okay.

The greens: They don't want to read it. There is only one thing that counts, and that is: Those farmers, with everything around them, MUST GO, and everything must become nature. They want to force us to live from nature as they want it. Eating nettles, plantain and you name it. I am happy with everything that is now being taken out of the closet. We must show them a fart. Agriculture with everything around it is a very beautiful nature in itself.

In the past it has been suggested to fertilize pieces of nature to increase biodiversity. It is the same as swearing in church.
