Unfortunately it's true, farmers are being offered a "voluntary buyout option" but if not enough volunteer there some will be forced to sell their operations.

It's related to nitrogen pollution in the environment surrounding the farms from fertilizer and manure runoff.

I guess if the only goal is to reduce nitrogen pollution then shutting down the farms and having the government buy them up solves that issue. However, if you actually care about keeping the people of the world from starving, then I'm not sure how that is done without industrial agriculture, and this move if anything will cause more people to starve. Not to mention the economic impact of shutting down such a critical part of the Dutch economy.

The way they outlaw food and harvesting globally is strange. It’s almost as if we’re not going to need it. Soon to be Missing a few billion people maybe??

Having traveled extensively in Holland, I can tell you that farms dominate the scenery. All kinds: dairy, poultry, crops, hogs, you name it. They are known worldwide as leaders in technology relating to agricultural techniques and environmental impacts.

If the Dutch are protesting - we should pay attention!

When are the people going to take a stand for real?, some might start to see the freedom protests were legit and were trying to protest peacefully to wake the blind up, Even if they blocked a street on the weekend that made some cry. Every freedom we have the government is coming after, and it accelerated in 2020. Maybe hungry people will clue in to what's really going on. You cannot comply ones way out of tyranny, and that is what this is all about.

Almost as if “saving the environment” or “global warming” is just an elaborate cover story for a much darker agenda🤷🏻‍♂️

Ole adage saying goes, "without the Dutch there wouldn't be much".
