Nitrogen plans
The farmers are angry about the government’s nitrogen plans. As far as the cabinet is concerned, ammonia emissions from agriculture must be reduced by an average of 40 percent, so that nature is no longer overloaded. According to the plans, virtually no more emissions may take place in protected nature areas themselves, according to the minister, a reduction of 70 percent is necessary immediately. According to her, only then will it be possible to sufficiently reduce the nitrogen load on nature.
In addition to their tractors, farmers have even taken cows to The Hague to make a statement.
