'Sitting on your hands in a nitrogen file does not work'

June 2, 2021 - Redactie Boerenbusiness - 6 comments

It gave him a lot of criticism and he says 4 members have resigned. Nevertheless, LTO chairman Sjaak van der Tak thinks in an exclusive interview on Boerenbusiness TV that its organization has taken a step forward by making a far-reaching nitrogen proposal together with nature and employers' organisations. "If you see percentages of 70% coming your way, you can't sit on your hands."

First it must be clear whether measurements and assumptions are all correct, then it must be investigated to the bottom which parties that have arranged this move have a double agenda, and last but not least agriculture produces nitrogen and what nitrogen captures agriculture (washed) the difference .
What does the rest of the Netherlands do (population, car, industry, flying, etc)
What will the effect be if green ammonia is exchanged for the many times harmful ammonia from the rest of the Netherlands

@SjefO. In the agricultural sector it is often said that more research needs to be done first. In particular, LTO has repeatedly reversed the adjustments that CDA and VVD had foreseen in recent decades, including the research question. The sector is now suffering a lot from this because we are crossing borders that we have known for years.
(A parallel is recognizable in the recent animal husbandry laws. Everyone feels attacked when it has been going on for about 20 years but each time went under the carpet).
In concrete terms, and there are reliable figures for that that are not up for discussion, half of all nitrogen entering the Netherlands via fertilizer and foreign concentrates is lost via water and air. in other words, only half is sold as a product (vegetable & animal) or fertilizer abroad. 360 kg N per ha enters the Netherlands, 180 of which is sold and the rest is leached or volatilized.
Statistics Netherlands annually keeps track of these imports and exports of nitrogen and phosphate from the Netherlands.

So yes? Thanks to nitrogen and phosphate, the Netherlands sees green. Have you ever seen that poor sandy soil abroad? We have to go there with the occasional withered plant. What idiots are behind this?
For every animal that disappears here, a multitude of energy will be needed abroad and those animals will have to come here so that they can be loaded in Rotterdam. What is the idea behind this kind of regulation?
In any case, nature and the environment will not benefit from this. And the economy will take a huge hit.

A waste of euros spent on fdf and pov and Nmv are not at the negotiating table, so hollow barrels sound the loudest.

It won't stay with 4 cancellers if this race to the bottom continues I can tell you that. The poldering with all those organizations is no longer in the interest of the supporters. Reaching all kinds of agreements jointly to be the only sector to deliver readily is certainly not the case. Scandalous state of affairs. Your members are the Sjaak.......

Not just those few other members. Unfortunately, the mass of non-members is also being pulled into the abyss by this give-away organization model! That's what they call unpaid co-benefit at LTO!!!.
