In the discussion about the nitrogen problem, the eye should not only be focused on agriculture, but nature should also be looked at critically. Some of the nitrogen-sensitive Natura2000 areas are small. "You can hardly maintain that these are real nature reserves."
This is what Rudy Rabbinge, a member of the Remkes committee that advises the cabinet on nitrogen policy, says: in Algemeen Dagblad (AD)† According to the emeritus professor of sustainable development, nature itself should also be part of the discussion. Until now, this has been completely ignored, also by the Remkes committee itself. In addition to many small nature reserves, according to Rabbinge, many nature types have also been defined that must be protected. "The question is whether that can be done a little less."
Better balance
Rabbinge itself is in favor of a smaller number of nature reserves, so that there is a better balance between housing, economic activities and nature. The current large nature reserves, such as the Veluwe, could then possibly expand. In the AD he suggested an idea from his hand from the 90s, to develop an Agrarian Main Structure in addition to the Ecological Main Structure (in which the nature reserves were recorded).
In this proposal, all agricultural businesses are concentrated on the most fertile lands, so that less land is needed to produce food. The poor soil can then be converted into nature. In this way, less fertilizer and crop protection agents are needed, which increases sustainable production. According to Rabbinge, it is certainly possible that nature and agriculture in the Netherlands can coexist. "If strict choices are made in spatial development."

They are distracting us! There is still no nitrogen problem! More than 1990% has been reduced since 50. And in intensive livestock farming it is easy to clean the air, so why do pigs and chickens need to be cleaned up?
Our government is not concerned with the means, but with the goal they want to achieve, whether it is with CO2, nitrogen or because we are a threat to nature or insects.
The ultimate goal of this cabinet is to make room for other industries such as flying, and to make the average citizen financially dependent! The plan of the left is complete control of the citizens!
That's not a conspiracy theory, but the truth is becoming rutte has admitted it herself, rutte is a wolf in sheep's clothing, he is very left-wing!
