Dutch farmers protest by blocking supermarket distribution centres

AMSTERDAM, July 4 (Reuters) - Dutch farmers angered by government plans that may require them to use less fertilizer and reduce livestock began a day of protests in the Netherlands on Monday by blocking supermarket distribution hubs in several cities.

Amsterdam's Schiphol airport and KLM, the Dutch arm of Air France (AIRF.PA), have advised travellers to use public transport, rather than cars, to reach the airport, as farmers' activist groups said on social media they planned to use tractors to block roads.

At the heart of the protest are targets introduced last month to reduce harmful nitrogen compounds by 2030, the latest attempt to tackle a problem that has plagued the country for years.

Reductions are necessary in emissions of nitrogen oxides from farm animal manure and from the use of ammonia in fertilizer, the government says, estimating a 30% reduction in the number of livestock is needed.

High-intensity farming of cows, pigs and other animals has made the Netherlands Europe's leading emitter of the substances. Construction and traffic also contribute.

Dutch and European courts have ordered the Dutch government to address the problem.

Why are the Globalists trying to create food shortages? What is their game plan?

Why are the Globalists trying to create food shortages? What is their game plan?

Henry Kissinger once said: “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world."

That's their game plan.

“Construction and traffic also contribute”. Their plan for us is to be jobless living in mud huts hunting down bugs for survival while they’re jetting around the world. In reality, I envision shrunken heads on totem poles for them. They haven’t thought this through.

It’s an unenviable position: either they make people go hungry, or the Netherlands makes people go hungry.

I can see frying up some grasshoppers and eating them, but uncle Klaus’s
plan is to have us eating cockroaches forever. With a side of arugula or bean sprouts.
