Finally a country that recognises this huge issue and try to find solutions. I hope others will follow
Vegan lobby won?
Edit: thanks for the explanations and fair points!
Oh yes, meat only for rich. Other people can graze.
Maybe we can heat our homes with some kind of cow fart capturing technology.
What’s the concern? I heard roaches and soy are nutritious enough for regular peasants.
To compare cows and pigs with cars is wrong. Cars are machines, you can reduce the emission to almost zero if you throw enough money and research at it.
Cattle are living mammals. You can’t redesign a cow. With breeding you can change a small bit, hence the insane amounts of milk they give these days compared to cows from 1850 but the amount of waste products from a cow ill always be roughly the same.
the best you can hope for is to invent better ways to process the shit, but it won;t go away
Bring in the roaches
In the Netherlands 116 million farm animals and 17 million humans live together on a piece of land the size of 7,5% of France. It is too much.
Most of these animals are meant for meat and dairy export. It doesn’t make sense for a country this small to produce that much meat for export…
Happy we can reduce the number of animals in a way that fairly compensates farmers for their damage.
This doesn’t mean that Dutch people will necessarily consume less meat. It’s simply another way of outsourcing the dirty work to less developed countries. See: production of goods (mostly China and South/SE Asia), resource extraction (they closed all their coal mines in 1974), waste disposal and recycling (shipping it to Turkey, SE Asia etc). It isn’t anything that other developed nations aren’t already doing.
Looks like this year the tractors will be on the highway again…
We already have one that’s only on for research purposes and producing hospital isotopes, so they’ll spool that one up. Where they’re gonna build the second and how long that’ll take, idk.
So reducing cows will make rent and house prices lower?
are so loud and proud about their opinions
Guy wrote like two short lines and you went off. Self awareness much.
“We can’t be the tiny country that feeds the world if we shit ourselves,” said MP Tjeerd de Groot, from the Democrats 66 party, which is part of the coalition government in the Netherlands.
“Check out my fuckin canines brooo”
Well yes, but no. The traditional unclear power plant you are probably thinking of, yes. There are newer smaller designs that take way less time to build.

Reduce meat consumption, increase bug consumption 😂. Eat those eco friendly insects plebs
Are you on about rolls Royce ones?

And?
Wilders, maybe. Baudet is legitimately crazy.
