Farmers' organization Agractie calls for the largest campaign against nitrogen measures ever seen. This action must take place on Wednesday 22 June in The Hague. This is what chairman Bart Kemp says in a plea on social media. Kemp calls on all other farmers' organizations, such as LTO Nederland, the POV, the NVM and Farmers Defense Force, to join this protest. Citizens can also join the protest.
"It's time to draw a line now," said Kemp. "We cannot accept that farmers and the countryside are being sacrificed on the altar of economic development and desirable nature. We are calling for the largest and most visible action ever seen." According to Kemp, the action should be bigger than the "legendary action of October 1." He calls on all organizations to stop talking to all provinces about the area-oriented approach to nitrogen, until these "disastrous plans are off the table and until solutions are found that are also supported by farmers."
According to Kemp, all plans of the cabinet exceed all limits. "Where people first spoke of emission reduction and voluntary purchase, they now want to wipe out almost entire areas. Farmers and expropriate many hectares of agricultural land. Taking permits. Cultivation bans. Taking latent space. Everything is on the table to expel farmers from the Netherlands as quickly as possible."

Why should a sector that is responsible for 60% of nitrogen emissions not contribute to the solution of the problem and then start with those regions where the impact of the problem is greatest.
Seems logical to me.
And the Netherlands will really not go to shit if, among other things, intensive livestock farming shrinks substantially.
As an EU member state, we will have to comply with the EU nitrate directive at some point, so that Vitens' drinking water is also purified from nitrate from manure and, among other things, pesticides from agriculture and horticulture.
And maybe it would also be nice if global warming remains limited to 1,5 degrees C and does not rise further by 2 degrees C, so that for generations after us the earth will become an unholy place to live.
Calling everyone (read: the farmers) to jump on the barricades to try to keep what you have in a selfish way is, in my opinion, very shortsighted and irresponsible under the current circumstances.
I expect the current government to act wisely and decisively.
The policy of porridge and wet must end
