It's not, it's a globo power play. They destroy domestic food production, they steal food from overseas, and anyone in Europe that wants to eat is now totally dependent on them. Come forth chip implants, come forth the boogz and the pods. Thing is, for that to happen both their foreign and domestic policy must work. And the prior ain't going too well to say the least.
Rather a perfect example of politicians' and their lobbyists' (Or is it lobbyists and their politicans?) reality being decoupled from yours/ours. It's not like this whole thing isn't working out just because it doesn't do so in our favour. Leads to the question who benefits in what way and who pays for their gains. Leads to questionig who's represented by elected representitives and so on and so forh. Nevermind, this whole new global experiment sold to us as progress is totally based on oil. So #juststopoil? No! Use it up and let's find out who is favoured by mother nature. Managers, laweyers, politicans or folks who know how to produce food and live of the land? What would have happened to mankind if the stoneage would have run out of stones? But for now, rest asured. No need to worry about deep state in a union deep enough to render states mere vasalls.

This policy is literally making not only life for everyone worse, but it’s also worsening the very problem they’re meant to deal with. Europe will have to import its food from farm which don’t care about pollution and they’re going to create even more of it by moving the food with trucks and ships
And Non-European countries will be very happy to see how Europeans voluntarily weakened themselves and made their own life miserable. Started with reducing population. Happy spectator here. 😂
And NOW with the Ukraine situation, the food supply/market problems are going to be even worse, since it's yet another place Europe will not be able to get much grain and other agriculture products. To do these radical "environmental" measures when Europe already has that destructive crisis ongoing is nothing short of INSANITY. As an American, I sometimes wonder if our government and the EU governments (along with Canada) are playing a game of "See Who Can Destroy Their People the Fastest". There is absolutely no logic anymore.

LGBT is a recent phenomenon and declining birthrates is something literally every single urbanizing society goes through. I live in an Islamic country where they beat gays and we still have declining birthrates due to urbanization. It is a natural result of development.
We have to start investigating EU politicians and their connections to big business/investors and the manipulation by big business of the farming and food sectors . Eu politicians are proving their incompetence everyday and are not working for EU citizens but for the business /Financial sectors and are totally unaccountable .

Really they should have to prove that we’re actually emitting in excess. Healthy pasture drinks methane and carbon like it’s a job.

I recently read a book by a really good Montana wheat farmer that sells into the EU and before he started he did an environmental impact assessment and found that his organic wheat produced significantly less emissions even shipped from Montana when compared to European chemically produced wheat. So it depends what y’all buy.

If there was just a way to make people understand...
Remind the government that the citizen is still in control and can make or break an economy. Remind them that it’s the citizen that innovates the industry they work in to make it more efficient.
If the people of Europe that are ultimately fed by farmers don't stand up and fight for these same farmers, then these farmers need to stop feeding the people of Europe.
Don’t expect that to happen. The general populous didn’t come to our rescue 30 years ago in North America. And the farmers did quit, because they went out of business which then got bought by larger farmers, who bought more chemicals and larger machines.

@@Houthiandtheblowfish So you think thousands of farmers will just leave the place that was build up by generations of hard work? The farmers will simply quit, try to rebuild by finding some other form of income and that will be it. I might be a bit biassed because I live on a farm my self, but that's just how I see it. From a business side of things, sure it makes sense maybe, but at the same time you're forced to leave something behind that was a part of you, something you and most likely generations before you went though blood sweet and tiers to build from the ground up.
Imagine storing all your belongings in your neighbors house because you want to have more space in your house. Now your neighbours house with all your belongings went up in flames. If only you we're willing to look for efficient ways to store your belongings into your house instead of moving the problem somewhere else eh? I mean did the EU ever heard about container farms, vertical farms and all those alternative solutions? They are literally jeopardizing our food security here.
Very true, but how do you think we in the Netherlands get the food that feeds our livestock? That's right: our country is way to small to grow all the crops needed to feed our enormous livestock. That is why we import mindboggling amounts of soy and corn from places like Brazil where they burn down entire rainforests just to grow the soy we use to feed our animals with. So how close to our plate do these cows, pigs and chickens really grow? Funny how this is always left out in news that is financed by livestock feed companies...
False. Transportation makes only small portion of emissions. Huge ships pollute more than one medium city but they can carry so much stuff that per kg it's comparable to one tiny fart. This is one of the greatest misconceptions. Transporting stuff is highly efficient compared to farming in worse conditions. Sorry.
As an agricultural researcher, and someone who still farms, it amazes me how governments fail to link food security to farming. People really don’t like paying twice as much for food. In purely economic terms, that leads to inflation, which then leads to higher interest rates. The agricultural community needs to develop relationships with lobbyists to convey how important it is to humanity.

That means you continuously crop, which has a much greater need for synthetic fertilisers and even greater reliance of various herbicides, pesticides and fungicides. All of the chemicals are developing resistance, so are likely to be less effective in the near future. We can’t farm organically, unless you want to choose which 3 billion people should starve. Therefore we need animals to build a diverse, resilient farming system that can feed the world.
As an american farmer i feel their pain. Farmers have historically been the most.shat on of almost any other field of work. Doesnt make the money, always referred to as peasant work, very long, very hard, constant gambler, and never gets respect. But for society that shats on them, i cant think of much other types of work they offer that requires them 3-5x/day. No Farms No Food!

I am so tired of hearing that the Netherlands is the '2nd largest agricultural exporter in the world.' In fact it is simply a large re-exporter. The Netherlands counts all goods that leave it's ports as an export- not really mentioning that most of the exports come from the rest of Europe to get to the Rhine delta. This makes the punitive measures pursued by the NL government supposedly as a means of environmental regulation even more disturbing.

Not true, of the 104,7 billion euros of Dutch food exports, 75,7 billion euros are actually dutch products. The remaining 29 billion euros are “re-exported.” So almost 75 percent is produced there and if you would only count that part The Netherlands would still be the second largest agricultural exporter in the world.

Thank you for shining a light on the dire situation bestowed upon our lives' work. As a Dutch farmhand/someone who has worked in and around farming all their life, i can safely say you hit the nail on its head. Politicians are trying to ruin our sector with bad decisions and ultimatums. The protests we held did little to nothing to deter our government from driving us into extinction and, as you said, are pushing to decrease our numbers instead of letting us innovate. And if there's one thing the Dutch can, its solving problems and innovate. The future of our sector looks bleak so we need all the help we can get, not just in the Netherlands but the rest of Europe and the world aswell. Please help us close the gap between consumer and farmer, and make them see we are trying to provide for them, not harm them. And that if we fall, the rest of the economy will sadly follow.

@@MACHOMISTERYMAN at the present in Romania we import 80% of the pork meat we eat, 50% potatoes, eggs, apples in Romania a country that was traditionally in agriculture, animals... In 1997 our govt loaned 350 millions from the World Bank. One of the condition was that Romania privatizes or closea over 1000 state owen food production units. Those units were partly supported be state so the reasoning was that the state should not lose money. But the state lost far less money then when lots of food were produced in Ro and where it needed to compensate a part of the cost than now when we pay almost 100% of the cost to producing units outside our country. We closed those and now we are not able to feed ourselves. But the big retailers "saved us". They came with Wester suppliers, with low quality food subsidized by states like yours, way above Ro's subsidezes and made unfair competition. As we were poorer in Romania people often went for the lowest price. These retailers who are selling maybe 80% of total merchandise in Ro, as they already had suppliers, they ask for very low prices from local suppliers. If Ro producers want to enter big retailers in Ro, they have to obbey the conditions. Our milk producers are close to bankruptcy but the prices in the shops are very big, from what we are told close to maximum in EU. When we entered EU, the EU set us to be a raw material supplier and consumer of finished goods. This is the situation now. For example Spain is the biggest buyer of Ro corn but the biggest provider of pork meat in Ro. They buy our corn, send it to Spain and then sell it back with lower prices than we have. That is possible only with subsidizes and a low quality of meat. I don't know what tomatoes you have, but what we have at big retailers are shit. They don't compare with tomatoes from our peasants and even they don't have the same seeds as in the past. A few years ago there was a double standard issue with retailers selling goods with etiquets identical to those from W but with different compositions. They had to modify it so they have a low cost so that locals can afford it. It was, maybe still is an issue in the entire EE. One more info, last year we had a trade deficit of over 22 billiin eur with EU countries, Holand had excedent 328 billion. The EU is rigged. Even with the Uk grains, big traders, all foreingers are prioritizing Uk grains in Ro as it is cheaper, lowet quality, and it also forces Ro, Bg, Po...m farmers to sell their grains cheaper. EU needs to change, but the old states oppose as they lose their advantages. Holand has 40000kms, Ro 237000, we have much lower costs, better seeds, you should buy food from us, but it's mostly the other way around. I wrote a lot, I hope you read part of it. Good luck to you too

Cows are no different than other ruminants. Ruminants are animals with multiple stomachs. Examples other than cows, sheep and goats, are also wild animals like buffalo, bison,deer, antelope,camels, llamas etc. What about their emisions? This is not about the emissions. Think hunger games.
What about the emissions of poliricians. There should be an upper limit on polticians per square kilometer, to reduce emissions. I am sure they will cooperate, especially the "green" ones.
They don’t emit though they participate in a natural cycle without adding or meaningfully subtracting from it like trees and water. We would never say trees emit water. What you said though touches on a real issue. They tried to slaughter hundreds of thousands of moose and reindeer in Scandinavia.

Italy's small farmers have been wiped away by the Common Agricultural Policy, since 1984. First by privileging bigger sized farms to receive EU subsidies, then capping the milk production with milk quotas. These policies are generally the outcome of nations power struggles inside the EU. Now EU politicians expanded their horizon and, in a Bismarck way, they decided not to fight anymore among Europeans on European soil but "Let's outsource all our foods and let the big transnational companies to scramble with environmental destruction and labour exploitation somewhere else far away, while strangling the European consumer with big capitalist oligopolies." Clap, clap, clap...what an ingenious plan to destroy an economy, empoverishing people on one side and exploiting people and their land on the other side....
Wrong. The capping of milk production actually supported many smaller dairy farmers across Europe. The CAP, meanwhile, was a godsend to the farmers of smaller EU countries, The ripping up of milk quotas in the past decade is what has privileged the bigger farmers. But now in the past few years, there's been another 180 with the green agenda - the policy-making from the politicians has become bipolar.
Every change in farming policies are most likely to affect food prices. It is unbearable that we in Europe are strangling farming with regulations and in the same time import food that is produced under circumstances we would not accept because it cost less! Especially Ecological farms are suffering under bureaucracy and low prices. We now see many Eco-farms switch to conventional farming. Farming is accused for carbon emissions but at the same time there is a enormous carbon caption potential in farmland soil. Farming without bovine cattle is in this aspect unefficient. With cows and grass-farming you can capture co2 into the soil with elevating the rate of organic matter.
Someone thought of this already, but if it is true that livestock cause a ton of emissions, try putting yourself in a garage with a cow for one night and a running car in another. Idk, 15% just sounds too big for cows, pigs, etc.

The solution of ‘just import it’ is incredibly short sighted and a quick way to expensive food prices.

From an environmental point of view it is better too because of many reasons.

Well, the very same farmers didn't complain when they are exporting their heavily subsidized food to East Europe, killing the local farms ( and they are still doing it )
Most countries produce their own food, or at least the majority of it, and import some. The exceptions are mostly island nations or rich oil states in the Persian Gulf, and in the Middle East. Historically, having a food source and farms nearby was the top priority for people before long distance trade developed. Only the current era of industrialisation and globalisation has made it possible for large sections of population not to work in agriculture and import much of their food from abroad and long distances
Poland also has problems about eu restrictions, also the money they give to farmers mostly goes to giant farms but not the small family ones. My parents are farmers to be exact beef cattle, its very hard to develop because its hard to meet the requirements to get some money. Dairy farms have it fairly easier. That's not the only problem, my father says that many farms in the region could close, because there is no one to take over the farms after their parents, the farms will be sold out and only old buildings will be left of what was a prospering farm in the future. It's stupid what the EU does and it will destroy a lot of farms.
Farming in the Netherlands is so big because of policy after the hunger winter of 1945. Never again hunger was the slogan. People tend to forget and history repeats....
True but currently in the Netherlands the issue with the current agricultural situation is not the farmers themselves, but the livestock industry and the policies that support it. Here are some key points to consider: 1. **Land use**: In the Netherlands, 76% of agricultural land is used to feed farmed animals, which has significant environmental consequences 2. **Export**: 80% of the livestock products are exported, while the local people and environment suffer from the consequences of intensive livestock farming 3. **Environmental impact**: Livestock farming contributes to air pollution, water pollution, and the production of large amounts of waste, leading to unpleasant odors and other negative effects 4. **Subsidies**: The European Union provides substantial financial support to farmers, with nearly a fifth of the EU's total budget going to livestock farming[2]. This support often drives environmental damage and fails to provide broader social benefits[5]. 5. **Lack of reform**: Despite the known issues with livestock farming, the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has not set targets for reducing livestock numbers or significantly shifted its focus towards more sustainable practices[1][3]. To address these issues, it is crucial to reevaluate the policies and subsidies that support livestock farming. Redirecting funds towards more sustainable practices, such as extensive livestock farming, ecologically responsible methods, and predominantly plant-based diets, could help mitigate the negative impacts of the current system[6].

Just watched a video on Trofim Lysenko which proved tragically how bad things can get when a tyrannical government controls food production. We the people of the land are responsible for our food production and need to stand alongside independent farmers who provide it.
The world cannot do without farmers to grow our food we can do without government thinking we can import all our food it’s the worst thing we could ever do as we would then be held to ransom.

None of this is about farmers or pollution or climate change. It is all about control of the food supply. Limiting it harshly, switching and forcing people to "eat the bugs" and "live in the pod". It is about control pure and simple
2:09 European countries like Germany, Belgium, Spain and France were pretty good at reducing the numbers... of People. So braxe yourself. Because all of us produce co2 and metane 😊
As a German ( nearly a Farmer ) I can just like that video. And in Germany we have big problems with the costs. And the farmers getting 1 250€ - 1500€ per month. We need more money
i think these farmers are going to leave to better countries that will import food from eu such as argentina and latin american countries with agriculture cheap land
Die Regierungen in ganz Europa zerstören bewusst die Landwirtschaft und machen Landwirte entweder durch Subventionen abhängig, oder verbieten die weitere Ausübung durch Gesetze, sodass Agrarkonzerne alles aufkaufen können. Agenda 2030. Dir wird nichts mehr gehören und den Großkonzernen, von denen du alles kaufen und mieten musst, wird alles gehören, und Schwab wird glücklich sein...
@@Houthiandtheblowfish So what you're saying is that the farmers will leave to countries with weaker pollution laws, ground pollution laws and weaker food safety regulations ?
Not saying that some of this isn't right but in Ireland , apart from the methane problem, the number of bovines is causing a steady decline in water quality and if this is happening in Ireland then what's happening in more intensively farmed areas with dense populations and a drier climate? Ireland has to import feed for the cattle. It's unsustainable.
Quite true, but videos like this turn are meant to turn a nuanced problem into a black and white one, so its easier to understand and also so it doesn't become an hour long video. .
Interesting that they are trying to reduce emissions etc but not many countries who say: here's free RTK correction for you just start using autosteer and instantly save 10-20% on fuel...
I’m from a rural ag community in thee US. Travelled across Ireland briefly last year. Appeared to me grazing was very light, tons of grass and few cattle. Good video
Wanting to reduce own production only to replace it with imports from afar is like deciding to throw the one ring into the sea and make it a problem for the future to solve. European countries should become role models for regenerative farming! It also seems like we have a short memory because wasn't a lack of livestock (and consequently manure) a huge problem for England's soil fertility following World War 2?
It worked for the silmarils. Besides, Europe only pays 5% of market price for imports. If anyone disagrees they can ask Niger, Syria or Libya how that went for them. Do you not want to pay 5%?
As a farmer that endured interest rate insanity in the 80's, I wish to go on record that we did indeed speak out, as well as demonstrate that what we would experience in the 2020's and beyond is exactly what we are experiencing now. The issues expressed in this video started in the 80's we were deemed as extremist's then. The only way the consumer will become active is through total food insecurity the same way Ireland did in the 1850's. Hope all is well in the future.
Eating cow meat three times a week is a cruel luxury, not a matter of food security. We, as citizens, could easily go for more sustainable foods: chicken, legumes, vegetables, fruit... ¡even pork is still more sustainable than beef!
What are you talking about, you just named the 2 biggest polluters on earth! Plus China’s new rural law force , the agriculture police, are destroying their farming communities more rapidly than the European policies! Sounds like you’re in a dreamland hun.
I would be asking more why is the EU buying out farmers and their land? Seems pretty scarey considering the population density in Europe and co-dependence certain country's have on other country's.
Because the Dutch farmers have been poisoning the ground for decades with the government turning a blind eye to this devastating practice by the farmers.
The fall of Europe, not just of European farming. Decades of utterly incompetent, greedy, corrupt and ideologically blind politicians brought us to this point.
And go against God almighty his law by legalize homasexualties marriage . Nothing left the west soon they will disappear from the map and their people will migrate to east Europe ,Africa and asia
U.K. here and those in charge are in discussions on livestock headcount limits , no clue what that will be but I have no doubt it’s coming , thing is there are huge areas of land already out of or doing little agricultural production , where we are it’s about half of land that used to produce something and now produces nothing , so who has done the calculations that say reducing farming will cut so called greenhouse gas emissions, my eyes are not capable of seeing said gasses as they are invisible to humans but what is visible tells me adding productive land to the already present unproductive land will make no fucking difference , somebody somewhere cannot use their eyes and is shit at sums
i think these farmers are going to leave to better countries that will import food from eu such as argentina and latin american countries with agriculture cheap land
Probably the stupidest thing a country can do is to reduce local production of primary goods. Especially for ecological purposes. But we all know by now this has nothing to do with ecology.
Yes, if you want to do farming also in next 15-30 years, it will be not possible in EU and you will have to seek some opportunities in countries like Russia for this kind of business.
@@petersedliak4362 I would consider moving to Russia but seems like a bad idea with the war situation right now maybe when it’s over. And still I have to leave everything behind just so I could continue farming
Many people over here say farmers are poor and stink lol. No wonder farmers are quitting almost everyone seems to hate us and now politics are saying farmers polute so much with their cows and chemicals they really think you can feed millions of people without using herbicide and so on. They want it like back in the day all natural but we are to overpopulated to have enough food when you farm like that. Also people nowadays are saying food is to expensive and some supermarkets freeze their prices lol. Prices are like 5% up this year. For farmers prices raise much more but we have to live with it. They rather spend 1000’s of euro’s on vacation than spending a cent or 2 more on a proper meal. I’ve never ever heard them say in the news that airplanes polute the environment like crazy. The whole 3M teflon/ pefas deal was also quickly solved by adjusting the maximum allowed ppm in the water by a 100 or something. Meanwhile farm land maximum nitrogen values decrease yearly and now we aren’t allowed to spray or fertilize 5 meter borders around our fields
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Janet
Also agriculture is one of the most heavily subsidized industries, so I do not understand the comment about an industry that doesn't receive any support - the Green Deal and Farm-to-Fork program are providing financial incentives to transition the livestock industry to more environmentally sound standards.
The guy from the Netherlands, is 💯 right. I’m for going green and support the farmers, cause I would like to have my own small farm one day, don’t have to pick one over the other. There are techniques that are becoming popular where you plant supporting vegetation that complement each other in a earth healthy way
nothing so deaf as those who don't want to hear ,,, Great Film , with some brilliant information keep it up . Next what about the cost of shipping food and other things around not only the money but the environmental impact
Bullsh... farming was always consolidating, larger companies create larger, more efficient production, that is why small business is getting bankrupt, they just can't sustain the same level of efficiency and cheap prices. Businesses are not museum pieces, they are parts of the economy we all depend upon, so there is no reason to try to preserve traditional farming practices, they would be preserved if there is demand.
The people that think that our politicians in charge are "incompetent" need to get more boosters because if they cannot see what is going on then they deserve what they get. It is not incompetence, it never was and it will never be. They know exactly what they are doing.
I don't support governments thinking they can control how nature works. Warming and cooling have gone on long before humanity and will go on long after. However, farming in the west is an agrochemical business subsidised by taxpayers. It's unarguable that modern farming practices deteriorate the land and pollute the waterways. Asking the polluters to come up with a solution to the problems they create is fanciful. Chemical corporations are focused solely on profit. I don't know if government buyout is the solution, but something's got to give. Food security is a desirable thing in times of emergency, but the UK couldn't achieve this during WWII and relied heavily on grain imports from Canada and the US alongside strict rationing. The fact that we've had relatively affordable food in our supermarkets for decades is a function of international trade. I try to support local producers by buying local produce, but I can't really afford to anymore except as a very occasional treat, so it's Lidl as usual.
FAKE...EU is food NET exporter and not counting Russia and Ukraine, which are big food producers... at the top. Currently in the ports of Europe there are columns of grain trucks that are about to leave for the rest of the world, the columns are because maritime transport cannot cope and has to wait. When you think about shortages of food, think about niche things, things that Karens and the woke eat but but no one will die of hunger - Shipping manager , MSC.
i have an idea that will help is farmers get through this and reduce emissions. we stop being farmers and just grow food for our selves eventually every one else will die and we will have the world to our selves free of morons and politicians.
Move to Russia. We'll give you a non-competitive environment. There are competitors, but European farmers are much more experienced! And you'll earn much more than in Belgium...

These politicians will agree on laboratory-made beef, shrimp and pork soon. They’re making traditional agriculture expensive so vertical farming would seem less expensive comparatively.

Everyone should grow their own organic garden to be part of the solution. If nothing else, it'll put people in the right mindset for discussion of actual solutions for the world's problems. If a person can't grow their own garden, then they should soul search as to "why not" and try hard to make the moves in order to do so. If we all lived by the motto "produce more, consume less" their would be far less conflict and strife in the world (relative to clean food and water)
Most of teh water was contaminated by the goverment and big industries, in teh UK teh water companies,in The uk teh sewage is liteally released into the rivers,they had to pump oxygens into teh thames,it wasnt teh farmers

Perfect example of politics decoupled from reality. What country would destroy their own food security? That's insane!
Well, America destroyed his medicine, automotive and IT security 😂😂😂😂
It's not, it's a globo power play. They destroy domestic food production, they steal food from overseas, and anyone in Europe that wants to eat is now totally dependent on them. Come forth chip implants, come forth the boogz and the pods. Thing is, for that to happen both their foreign and domestic policy must work. And the prior ain't going too well to say the least.

Rather a perfect example of politicians' and their lobbyists' (Or is it lobbyists and their politicans?) reality being decoupled from yours/ours. It's not like this whole thing isn't working out just because it doesn't do so in our favour. Leads to the question who benefits in what way and who pays for their gains. Leads to questionig who's represented by elected representitives and so on and so forh.
Nevermind, this whole new global experiment sold to us as progress is totally based on oil. So #juststopoil? No! Use it up and let's find out who is favoured by mother nature. Managers, laweyers, politicans or folks who know how to produce food and live of the land? What would have happened to mankind if the stoneage would have run out of stones?
But for now, rest asured. No need to worry about deep state in a union deep enough to render states mere vasalls.
You don’t need an activist, politicians or bureaucrats, but you do need farmers.

European Union (EU) is trying to grab farm land ..that should be the title of this video..
Facts mate 👍🤝
This policy is literally making not only life for everyone worse, but it’s also worsening the very problem they’re meant to deal with. Europe will have to import its food from farm which don’t care about pollution and they’re going to create even more of it by moving the food with trucks and ships
And Non-European countries will be very happy to see how Europeans voluntarily weakened themselves and made their own life miserable.
Started with reducing population. Happy spectator here. 😂
And NOW with the Ukraine situation, the food supply/market problems are going to be even worse, since it's yet another place Europe will not be able to get much grain and other agriculture products. To do these radical "environmental" measures when Europe already has that destructive crisis ongoing is nothing short of INSANITY. As an American, I sometimes wonder if our government and the EU governments (along with Canada) are playing a game of "See Who Can Destroy Their People the Fastest". There is absolutely no logic anymore.
@@iceicebebe8299 how did Europe decide to reduce its population? It is a natural result of development. Every single country that goes through high levels of development ends up reducing baby births
@@dogukan127Not true. The biggest impacts of declining birth rates is urbanization, rising secularism, feminism, lgbtq indoctrination.
@@alejandromaldonado6159 It is true and it is a well known fact. Yes urbanization is a factor. Secularism? Perhaps. What do you want? Everybody to worship skygods and breed?

LGBT is a recent phenomenon and declining birthrates is something literally every single urbanizing society goes through. I live in an Islamic country where they beat gays and we still have declining birthrates due to urbanization. It is a natural result of development.
We have to start investigating EU politicians and their connections to big business/investors and the manipulation by big business of the farming and food sectors .

You’re absolutely right. All this green nonsense is the biggest lie ever. It’s communism in disguise.
💯 agree with what you said but farmers fight back because the people need meat its our right and we shall fight for it
I think it is partially about the environment in that blaming us and our animals for participating in the nitrogen cycle is easier then redesigning how we handle solid waste and sewage. Really they should have to prove that we’re actually emitting in excess. Healthy pasture drinks methane and carbon like it’s a job.

So the EU wants to bring in beef and other ag products on large ships that burn thousands of gallons of fuel per trip instead of growing it themselves? How do they think that makes any sense???
On point 100 percent.
Only food won't come in at all, is the way I see it, unfortunately.
I recently read a book by a really good Montana wheat farmer that sells into the EU and before he started he did an environmental impact assessment and found that his organic wheat produced significantly less emissions even shipped from Montana when compared to European chemically produced wheat. So it depends what y’all buy.

Without politicians, we would exist.

Nothing says eco friendly like outsourcing your industry to a country that contributes 10 times more towards the issue. It's not about "being green". Its about having a relient and compliant population.
How do we stop this? This is mind boggling and terrifying. As a farmers son this makes me mad as hell. The only solution we have is to get these policy makers out of office, but only farmers understand what is happening, and the rest of the voters just want to go green, no matter what the cost.

If the people of Europe that are ultimately fed by farmers don't stand up and fight for these same farmers, then these farmers need to stop feeding the people of Europe.
Most people in Europe especially in cities think that food grows in grocery store shelves.
Don’t expect that to happen. The general populous didn’t come to our rescue 30 years ago in North America. And the farmers did quit, because they went out of business which then got bought by larger farmers, who bought more chemicals and larger machines.
@@izs10this is how it happened in North America. First populous was taught food comes from super market and farmers are poor dirty people. Small guys got pushed out then medium sized famers now we have million head feed lots and 10,000+ acre Monsanto mono crop farmers addicted to chemicals.
i think these farmers are going to leave to better countries that will import food from eu such as argentina and latin american countries with agriculture cheap land
@@Houthiandtheblowfish So you think thousands of farmers will just leave the place that was build up by generations of hard work? The farmers will simply quit, try to rebuild by finding some other form of income and that will be it. I might be a bit biassed because I live on a farm my self, but that's just how I see it. From a business side of things, sure it makes sense maybe, but at the same time you're forced to leave something behind that was a part of you, something you and most likely generations before you went though blood sweet and tiers to build from the ground up.
Imagine storing all your belongings in your neighbors house because you want to have more space in your house. Now your neighbours house with all your belongings went up in flames.
If only you we're willing to look for efficient ways to store your belongings into your house instead of moving the problem somewhere else eh?
I mean did the EU ever heard about container farms, vertical farms and all those alternative solutions? They are literally jeopardizing our food security here.
The Greenest thing you can eat, is the thing grown closest to your plate. Outsourcing food only increases emissions do to transportation.
Truee
Try and tell that to the r*tards at the EU HQ...
Very true, but how do you think we in the Netherlands get the food that feeds our livestock? That's right: our country is way to small to grow all the crops needed to feed our enormous livestock. That is why we import mindboggling amounts of soy and corn from places like Brazil where they burn down entire rainforests just to grow the soy we use to feed our animals with. So how close to our plate do these cows, pigs and chickens really grow? Funny how this is always left out in news that is financed by livestock feed companies...
False. Transportation makes only small portion of emissions. Huge ships pollute more than one medium city but they can carry so much stuff that per kg it's comparable to one tiny fart. This is one of the greatest misconceptions. Transporting stuff is highly efficient compared to farming in worse conditions. Sorry.
Most transportation emissions come between short distance transports on wheels and concern also locally produced stuff.
As an agricultural researcher, and someone who still farms, it amazes me how governments fail to link food security to farming. People really don’t like paying twice as much for food. In purely economic terms, that leads to inflation, which then leads to higher interest rates. The agricultural community needs to develop relationships with lobbyists to convey how important it is to humanity.

@@Houthiandtheblowfish We don't need the meat and dairy industry. It has devastating effects on the earth, people and obviously the animals. It does not belong in the 21st century.
@@Simon-dm8zv farming systems are extremely complex. Your can’t just stop one practice, and assume it can be replaced with another. If you remove livestock, then you remove the need for pasture. That means you continuously crop, which has a much greater need for synthetic fertilisers and even greater reliance of various herbicides, pesticides and fungicides. All of the chemicals are developing resistance, so are likely to be less effective in the near future. We can’t farm organically, unless you want to choose which 3 billion people should starve. Therefore we need animals to build a diverse, resilient farming system that can feed the world.

I am so tired of hearing that the Netherlands is the '2nd largest agricultural exporter in the world.' In fact it is simply a large re-exporter. The Netherlands counts all goods that leave it's ports as an export- not really mentioning that most of the exports come from the rest of Europe to get to the Rhine delta. This makes the punitive measures pursued by the NL government supposedly as a means of environmental regulation even more disturbing.
The export is being normalized and the number used is in fact export minus imports. Get your facts straight, muppet.

Not true, of the 104,7 billion euros of Dutch food exports, 75,7 billion euros are actually dutch products. The remaining 29 billion euros are “re-exported.” So almost 75 percent is produced there and if you would only count that part The Netherlands would still be the second largest agricultural exporter in the world.
The communist central planners have never proved that exporting food is "bad".
it's not about emissions, it's population control.
less food = less people.
more competition = more control

Thank you for shining a light on the dire situation bestowed upon our lives' work. As a Dutch farmhand/someone who has worked in and around farming all their life, i can safely say you hit the nail on its head. Politicians are trying to ruin our sector with bad decisions and ultimatums. The protests we held did little to nothing to deter our government from driving us into extinction and, as you said, are pushing to decrease our numbers instead of letting us innovate. And if there's one thing the Dutch can, its solving problems and innovate. The future of our sector looks bleak so we need all the help we can get, not just in the Netherlands but the rest of Europe and the world aswell. Please help us close the gap between consumer and farmer, and make them see we are trying to provide for them, not harm them. And that if we fall, the rest of the economy will sadly follow.

@@MACHOMISTERYMAN at the present in Romania we import 80% of the pork meat we eat, 50% potatoes, eggs, apples in Romania a country that was traditionally in agriculture, animals...
In 1997 our govt loaned 350 millions from the World Bank. One of the condition was that Romania privatizes or closea over 1000 state owen food production units. Those units were partly supported be state so the reasoning was that the state should not lose money. But the state lost far less money then when lots of food were produced in Ro and where it needed to compensate a part of the cost than now when we pay almost 100% of the cost to producing units outside our country.
We closed those and now we are not able to feed ourselves. But the big retailers "saved us". They came with Wester suppliers, with low quality food subsidized by states like yours, way above Ro's subsidezes and made unfair competition. As we were poorer in Romania people often went for the lowest price. These retailers who are selling maybe 80% of total merchandise in Ro, as they already had suppliers, they ask for very low prices from local suppliers. If Ro producers want to enter big retailers in Ro, they have to obbey the conditions. Our milk producers are close to bankruptcy but the prices in the shops are very big, from what we are told close to maximum in EU.
When we entered EU, the EU set us to be a raw material supplier and consumer of finished goods. This is the situation now. For example Spain is the biggest buyer of Ro corn but the biggest provider of pork meat in Ro. They buy our corn, send it to Spain and then sell it back with lower prices than we have. That is possible only with subsidizes and a low quality of meat. I don't know what tomatoes you have, but what we have at big retailers are shit. They don't compare with tomatoes from our peasants and even they don't have the same seeds as in the past.
A few years ago there was a double standard issue with retailers selling goods with etiquets identical to those from W but with different compositions. They had to modify it so they have a low cost so that locals can afford it. It was, maybe still is an issue in the entire EE.
One more info, last year we had a trade deficit of over 22 billiin eur with EU countries, Holand had excedent 328 billion. The EU is rigged.
Even with the Uk grains, big traders, all foreingers are prioritizing Uk grains in Ro as it is cheaper, lowet quality, and it also forces Ro, Bg, Po...m farmers to sell their grains cheaper.
EU needs to change, but the old states oppose as they lose their advantages.
Holand has 40000kms, Ro 237000, we have much lower costs, better seeds, you should buy food from us, but it's mostly the other way around.

Cows are no different than other ruminants. Ruminants are animals with multiple stomachs. Examples other than cows, sheep and goats, are also wild animals like buffalo, bison,deer, antelope,camels, llamas etc. What about their emisions? This is not about the emissions. Think hunger games.
What about the emissions of poliricians. There should be an upper limit on polticians per square kilometer, to reduce emissions. I am sure they will cooperate, especially the "green" ones.
They don’t emit though they participate in a natural cycle without adding or meaningfully subtracting from it like trees and water. We would never say trees emit water. What you said though touches on a real issue. They tried to slaughter hundreds of thousands of moose and reindeer in Scandinavia.
Manure stores carbon dioxide and forms humus. that is never taken into account.

@@gdouble4710 Sadly thats true, the EU is not a democracy anymore, and the last critics are now being silenced by the DSA, just like in totalitarian regimes
Italy's small farmers have been wiped away by the Common Agricultural Policy, since 1984. First by privileging bigger sized farms to receive EU subsidies, then capping the milk production with milk quotas. These policies are generally the outcome of nations power struggles inside the EU.
Now EU politicians expanded their horizon and, in a Bismarck way, they decided not to fight anymore among Europeans on European soil but "Let's outsource all our foods and let the big transnational companies to scramble with environmental destruction and labour exploitation somewhere else far away, while strangling the European consumer with big capitalist oligopolies."
Clap, clap, clap...what an ingenious plan to destroy an economy, empoverishing people on one side and exploiting people and their land on the other side....
👍 that is very well said. The same happen in Portugal.
Is this why you are either a rich farmer who owns the land since their grandfather or an illegal underpayed worker?
Wrong. The capping of milk production actually supported many smaller dairy farmers across Europe. The CAP, meanwhile, was a godsend to the farmers of smaller EU countries, The ripping up of milk quotas in the past decade is what has privileged the bigger farmers. But now in the past few years, there's been another 180 with the green agenda - the policy-making from the politicians has become bipolar.
Every change in farming policies are most likely to affect food prices. It is unbearable that we in Europe are strangling farming with regulations and in the same time import food that is produced under circumstances we would not accept because it cost less! Especially Ecological farms are suffering under bureaucracy and low prices. We now see many Eco-farms switch to conventional farming. Farming is accused for carbon emissions but at the same time there is a enormous carbon caption potential in farmland soil. Farming without bovine cattle is in this aspect unefficient. With cows and grass-farming you can capture co2 into the soil with elevating the rate of organic matter.
Yea
Blame mass population. Vote with your pocket.
yup, monocrop farming releases CO2 and methane from the soil, while pasture animals and a healthy crop rotation bind them to the soil
The entire process of farming is based on carbon capture. Think...
Mono crop farming... you do know that plants capture carbon... right?
Someone thought of this already, but if it is true that livestock cause a ton of emissions, try putting yourself in a garage with a cow for one night and a running car in another. Idk, 15% just sounds too big for cows, pigs, etc.
Love it when policy is made by people who have no clue.
But they do know what they are doing they just hate you and want you dead..

@@jangerloff3521 Maybe the government is creating shortages with their goal to control people and the prices. Like in a village where the village leaders control the water and stuff. So then you need to obey them. That's just one of many examples.

For 60vyears there were permanent shortages of EVERYTHING.

We have a similar problem here in New Zealand, we have basically banned coal mining, so when we need to run our coal fired power generation from time to time to charge all the electric cars and run electric heating or air conditioning, we burn lower quality coal from Indonesia.
If we mined our own, we control how, when where and what is done afterwards. We keep jobs in New Zealand and we don't run a hulking great ship half way around the word burning 100s of thousands of litres of fuel oil.
But instead we move the problem off shore where it cannot be controlled.

The solution of ‘just import it’ is incredibly short sighted and a quick way to expensive food prices. If the exporting country knows you can’t feed your population, then they can charge whatever they like for their produce. That’s without the concerns that they will be producing their goods at the lowest standards for both the environment and their livestock. The only thing I know for sure is that this is not about the environment

Food has to grow somewhere. It is beter to grow food loccaly in stead of depending on long, fragile and energy consuming suply lines. From an environmental point of view it is better too because of many reasons. We of course should strive for making farming more sustainable (but not through the current way of not effective but costly regulations) but importing food from somewhere else like countries that have little to no environmental rules for use of chemicals that aren't allowed in europe anymore and for a good reason. One important note for durable agriculture is that it should be a land based production and not an increasingly capital based production that only makes farmers more dependent on big corp because of debt.

Well, the very same farmers didn't complain when they are exporting their heavily subsidized food to East Europe, killing the local farms ( and they are still doing it )
@@sandormarton9723 sadly a lot of farmers don't have much to tell because of debt at the bank and the big agro. That is what should be looked at.
Most countries produce their own food, or at least the majority of it, and import some. The exceptions are mostly island nations or rich oil states in the Persian Gulf, and in the Middle East. Historically, having a food source and farms nearby was the top priority for people before long distance trade developed. Only the current era of industrialisation and globalisation has made it possible for large sections of population not to work in agriculture and import much of their food from abroad and long distances
Poland also has problems about eu restrictions, also the money they give to farmers mostly goes to giant farms but not the small family ones. My parents are farmers to be exact beef cattle, its very hard to develop because its hard to meet the requirements to get some money. Dairy farms have it fairly easier. That's not the only problem, my father says that many farms in the region could close, because there is no one to take over the farms after their parents, the farms will be sold out and only old buildings will be left of what was a prospering farm in the future. It's stupid what the EU does and it will destroy a lot of farms.

Farming in the Netherlands is so big because of policy after the hunger winter of 1945. Never again hunger was the slogan. People tend to forget and history repeats....
True but currently in the Netherlands the issue with the current agricultural situation is not the farmers themselves, but the livestock industry and the policies that support it. Here are some key points to consider:
1. **Land use**: In the Netherlands, 76% of agricultural land is used to feed farmed animals, which has significant environmental consequences
2. **Export**: 80% of the livestock products are exported, while the local people and environment suffer from the consequences of intensive livestock farming
3. **Environmental impact**: Livestock farming contributes to air pollution, water pollution, and the production of large amounts of waste, leading to unpleasant odors and other negative effects
4. **Subsidies**: The European Union provides substantial financial support to farmers, with nearly a fifth of the EU's total budget going to livestock farming[2]. This support often drives environmental damage and fails to provide broader social benefits[5].
5. **Lack of reform**: Despite the known issues with livestock farming, the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has not set targets for reducing livestock numbers or significantly shifted its focus towards more sustainable practices[1][3].
To address these issues, it is crucial to reevaluate the policies and subsidies that support livestock farming. Redirecting funds towards more sustainable practices, such as extensive livestock farming, ecologically responsible methods, and predominantly plant-based diets, could help mitigate the negative impacts of the current system[6]. Additionally, incentivizing fruit and vegetable production could promote healthier and more environmentally friendly food choices[2].

You tell me.
Not saying that some of this isn't right but in Ireland , apart from the methane problem, the number of bovines is causing a steady decline in water quality and if this is happening in Ireland then what's happening in more intensively farmed areas with dense populations and a drier climate?

Probably the stupidest thing a country can do is to reduce local production of primary goods. Especially for ecological purposes. But we all know by now this has nothing to do with ecology.
I think as a farmer in Belgium we would be better off going to a 3the world country to farm at this point
Yes, if you want to do farming also in next 15-30 years, it will be not possible in EU and you will have to seek some opportunities in countries like Russia for this kind of business.
@@petersedliak4362 I would consider moving to Russia but seems like a bad idea with the war situation right now maybe when it’s over. And still I have to leave everything behind just so I could continue farming
Many people over here say farmers are poor and stink lol. No wonder farmers are quitting almost everyone seems to hate us and now politics are saying farmers polute so much with their cows and chemicals they really think you can feed millions of people without using herbicide and so on. They want it like back in the day all natural but we are to overpopulated to have enough food when you farm like that. Also people nowadays are saying food is to expensive and some supermarkets freeze their prices lol. Prices are like 5% up this year. For farmers prices raise much more but we have to live with it. They rather spend 1000’s of euro’s on vacation than spending a cent or 2 more on a proper meal. I’ve never ever heard them say in the news that airplanes polute the environment like crazy. The whole 3M teflon/ pefas deal was also quickly solved by adjusting the maximum allowed ppm in the water by a 100 or something. Meanwhile farm land maximum nitrogen values decrease yearly and now we aren’t allowed to spray or fertilize 5 meter borders around our fields
I meant multiplied maximum ppm by a 100
@@teammouse You can ask Australian family, that moved to Russia, if it's good idea or not.
Instead to import gas from Africa or Russia, use that produced locally by the farms
Paying less than a dollar a month for a cooking gas in Russia, biofuells cannot compete with that price tbh.

Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Janet
Wow I'm just shock you mentioned and recommended Expert Mrs Janet,I thought I'm the only trading with her
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SHOCK BECAUSE I'M ALSO A HUGE BENEFICIARY OF expert MRS JANET
You may need an electrician, a lawyer or a policeman few times a year. But you need a farmer 3 times a day everyday
Also agriculture is one of the most heavily subsidized industries, so I do not understand the comment about an industry that doesn't receive any support - the Green Deal and Farm-to-Fork program are providing financial incentives to transition the livestock industry to more environmentally sound standards.
You do know, that most of this money ends up in machine production industries and buildings, so in the end it support jobs?
The guy from the Netherlands, is 💯 right. I’m for going green and support the farmers, cause I would like to have my own small farm one day, don’t have to pick one over the other. There are techniques that are becoming popular where you plant supporting vegetation that complement each other in a earth healthy way
Then the farmers should have done this instead of poisoning our groundwater.
nothing so deaf as those who don't want to hear ,,, Great Film , with some brilliant information keep it up . Next what about the cost of shipping food and other things around not only the money but the environmental impact
Thank you for your comment ! I will have a look into it . . .
maybe post a link to that film?
Bullsh... farming was always consolidating, larger companies create larger, more efficient production, that is why small business is getting bankrupt, they just can't sustain the same level of efficiency and cheap prices. Businesses are not museum pieces, they are parts of the economy we all depend upon, so there is no reason to try to preserve traditional farming practices, they would be preserved if there is demand.
The people that think that our politicians in charge are "incompetent" need to get more boosters because if they cannot see what is going on then they deserve what they get. It is not incompetence, it never was and it will never be. They know exactly what they are doing.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Dumb people deserve to get it ?
Green deal! More like Raw deal.
I don't support governments thinking they can control how nature works. Warming and cooling have gone on long before humanity and will go on long after. However, farming in the west is an agrochemical business subsidised by taxpayers. It's unarguable that modern farming practices deteriorate the land and pollute the waterways. Asking the polluters to come up with a solution to the problems they create is fanciful. Chemical corporations are focused solely on profit. I don't know if government buyout is the solution, but something's got to give. Food security is a desirable thing in times of emergency, but the UK couldn't achieve this during WWII and relied heavily on grain imports from Canada and the US alongside strict rationing. The fact that we've had relatively affordable food in our supermarkets for decades is a function of international trade. I try to support local producers by buying local produce, but I can't really afford to anymore except as a very occasional treat, so it's Lidl as usual.
FAKE...EU is food NET exporter and not counting Russia and Ukraine, which are big food producers... at the top. Currently in the ports of Europe there are columns of grain trucks that are about to leave for the rest of the world, the columns are because maritime transport cannot cope and has to wait. When you think about shortages of food, think about niche things, things that Karens and the woke eat but but no one will die of hunger - Shipping manager , MSC.
What ever happened to red algae mixed with cattle feed reducing methane production by something like 95%?
Only sustainable if your near a source of algae otherwise it is cheaper to feed hay
Do you have a link to that idea? Sounds like a red herring!
that would eat into profits and thats more important to them then anything else in this world
@@dannymundo7538 well it's still a business so keeping costs down is usaly a good idea so yeah if it takes all of the profit out why do it
Bill gates has invested into an Australian company called rumin8 that does this.
Great video!!! Thank you so much for providing such an important topic.
i have an idea that will help is farmers get through this and reduce emissions. we stop being farmers and just grow food for our selves eventually every one else will die and we will have the world to our selves free of morons and politicians.
You will be raided, legally or not, for your food then.
@@ceu160193 I got plenty for them to eat and a variety of flavours 5.56, 308, 30-06, 300 win.
In belgium it is nearly impasible to turn a profit there is barely a margin and what you make gets taxed like crazy and you get fined for everything
And there isn't any subsidies for farmers, right? Go home
Move to Russia. We'll give you a non-competitive environment. There are competitors, but European farmers are much more experienced! And you'll earn much more than in Belgium...
One of the most informative videos ive seen in a while 😁
Guys think about it when next election comes!
Our politicians are put in, not elected.

These politicians will agree on laboratory-made beef, shrimp and pork soon. They’re making traditional agriculture expensive so vertical farming would seem less expensive comparatively.
Clicked on this thinking that it was just sensationalist clickbait but it turned out to be anything but. Fair play.
thank you Luke. Looking to bring some actual information to the table
112 cows DIED on one weekend in JERSEY in dec 2022. GRAZING LAND 100 YARDS AWAY REZONED FOR HOUSING. field jumps in value from £70,000 to £3.5m.
KING CHARLES gave farm 7 x cows [5% VEIL]
Once again those in charge don't care about those of use lower down the food chain.
Spot on
Those you think in charge are not elected. You give them power by using their products. Vote with your money
Everyone should grow their own organic garden to be part of the solution. If nothing else, it'll put people in the right mindset for discussion of actual solutions for the world's problems. If a person can't grow their own garden, then they should soul search as to "why not" and try hard to make the moves in order to do so. If we all lived by the motto "produce more, consume less" their would be far less conflict and strife in the world (relative to clean food and water)
Most of teh water was contaminated by the goverment and big industries, in teh UK teh water companies,in The uk teh sewage is liteally released into the rivers,they had to pump oxygens into teh thames,it wasnt teh farmers
It's very sad that here in central bohemian region, we have nice black soil around river Elbe, but you see some storages around highway beying build on that good quality soil instead of fields, that's really sad.
Grow everything outside of the EU really solves the problem😫😫
at soviet era Bulgaria was producing alot of veggies and fruits and export it.... imagine if EU was invested money and uprgade this production... instead they give this subsidies to theifts and also both party's steal... :))))) soon Europe maybe will be daed bcoz is fake... :)
How?
It doesn’t, as this policy encourages imports.
This plan is for all countries eventually.
