The aim is to significantly reduce nitrogen emissions by 2030, overall and in protected areas, which will lead to a 30% reduction in livestock and the expropriation of farmers to protect natural areas. These farmers will have to voluntarily leave their profession in order to be compensated!
How it relates to the system:
- Blind implementation of a policy coming straight from unelected institutions, applied without consultation with those concerned.
- Construction of impoverishment and dependence; paid work replaced by aids and compensation.
- Use of fear of climate change, fabrication of a problem, and perverse use of the words "Minister of the Environment and Nitrogen Policy".
- Undermining food supply, creating shortages and famine. Eat insects!
