Greenpeace: 'The knife must go to the livestock'

27 April 2018 - Redactie Boerenbusiness - 20 comments

In a recently published report, Greenpeace Netherlands advocates a halving of the Dutch livestock by 2050. According to Andy Palmen (Greenpeace), politicians must set frameworks together with LTO, so that livestock farmers know where they stand. 

In conversation with Wouter Baan, Palmen explains how Greenpeace sees the future of livestock farming. The production limitation that FrieslandCampina has announced, he believes is a step in the right direction.

Greenpeace just shouldn't sit in the entrepreneur's chair is just an ordinary action group

Ban fertilizer and organic fertilizer on it, then you can also reduce the gas.

We as agriculture are only a group of 5% who pollute almost nothing what do we think of aircraft industry areas where the smog flies around your ears and then argue for halving the livestock let Greenpeace go to the real polluters

By 2050, the livestock will have been halved long ago, because who wants to keep going with all those rules and be able to.

Unfortunately, we only really need one thing to open our eyes and that is a huge famine. It's a shame that something like this doesn't hit the rich Greenpeace crazies first.

if 10 percent emissions come from livestock farming, 90 percent comes from industry and transport, should we do something about that first or am I crazy?

Is there anyone who can explain how burning wood with a carbon cycle time of 60 years is 60% of the solution and livestock farming with a carbon cycle time of one year is 10% of the (non-existent) problem.

1) no slurry tank in the picture for wood
2) as long as there is a language deficiency, arguments are not read. There is only scorn for the writer

Who is the biggest polluter on this earth, that is man, he produces a lot of different waste, drives a car, flies when he goes on holiday and sometimes goes to work, uses fuel to cook his food eats all kinds of lily flaps that are with a lot of energy produced by the farmer as cheaply as possible and must be produced with expensive and fuel-consuming tractors that are very environmentally harmful. We order via laptop and have all items delivered by car, in which our greenpeace people also participate. And if farmers who for their daily food what is available to them 4 times a day, lie crooked and stick their neck out financially and then dare to say that the livestock must be halved, there are no words for such stupid people but you have them suffer from such thugs, too bad they didn't grow up in the starving areas.

The worst thing about these folks is that killing others is their livelihood. In other times they had other names for that that absolutely did not end in peace!
Oh let me now name them with left-wing right pocket fillers! The worst hypocrites of our society!

Gas gone Agriculture gone Dutch income gone .
Abroad continues to grow.
Is this the way for our country.
With less investment and the investments you already have, explain to me how that should and can be done.

Fairy tales never come true. All reality is missing.

Why action groups never tell consumers that food prices will rise 50% with every ban on GBM yield reduction, but I continue to grow fruit in the Netherlands
hans 1 May 2018
Jpk, right, you continue to grow in the Netherlands. Like so many. How much less production (less!) can we use to serve the consumer in the Netherlands? And isn't that price always linked to international prices? You don't scare the average Dutch citizen. Especially when you say that you will continue to produce anyway.

Buy them out if you want to get rid of the farmer otherwise shut up. Give a little, take a little.

The 2016-2017 season has been very profitable for apple and pear growers in ned
Season 2018 2019 will be completely different
The flowering is great in all eur visiting the acm for the withdrawal of apples and pears from the market job for the fruit and vegetable house therefore no food wastage
Arjan 12 May 2018
in 2050 the livestock will be halved and NED BV is broken
