Thousands of farmers gathered in the central Netherlands on Wednesday to protest the Dutch government’s plans to rein in emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia.
They drove their tractors across the country, blocking traffic on major highways in their wake.
The protest was organised earlier this month after the government published nationwide targets for reducing emissions, sparking anger from farmers who claim their livelihoods — and those of thousands of people who work in the agricultural service industry — are on the line.
Calling it an “unavoidable transition,” the government mandated reductions in emissions of up to 70 per cent in many places close to protected nature areas and as high as 95 per cent in other places.
The government has been forced to act after courts in recent years began blocking permits for infrastructure and housing projects because the country was missing its emissions targets.
Farmers claim their livelihoods — and those of thousands of people who work in agriculture — are on the line. Organisers said some 40,000 farmers converged on a green field in the small agricultural village of Stroe, about 70 kilometres east of the capital, Amsterdam. A stage was set up for speakers to address the crowd and music blared out of speakers while children bounced in a giant inflatable pig.

You've got to love these terms and phrases the globalist come up with...
"You're going to eat s***...So sorry but it's an unavoidable transition."
Wow, let that sink in. The GOVERNMENT COURTS blocked construction permits because the country missed GOVERNMENT-SET emission targets and now the GOVERNMENT curtails food production to meet the targets that the GOVERNMENT arbitrarily set in response to a hoax.
So the GOVERNMENT is going to starve the citizens to meet some emission targets to MAYBE reduce the global temperature 0.1 degrees 100 years from now.
There's something wrong with this picture but I can't quite put my finger on it. But its nothing that a lot of GOVERNMENT people swinging from light poles wouldn't fix.
The farmers should all go on strike for a year and see how the populace likes it. Before the GOVERNMENT people decorate light poles, of course.
Imaginary problems require imaginary solutions.
“There’s two things I can’t stand. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch!”
What should be "unavoidable" is politicians swinging from lamp posts.
Don’t worry, though. It’s only a transitory transition. Nothing to be alarmed about.
How can anyone doubt that the end game is legacy-human extermination?
They intend to make us dead.
We should make them dead first.
Paging John Galt.
Good for them. Never a good idea to piss off farmers.
The guy grabbing food reminds me of what my Sister-in-law saw in 1962 Los Angeles during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
People there seemed to go crazy, grabbing the food, causing wrecks by trying to get out of the city before the Russians bombed them. Then it all blew over.
The farmers should block all the grocery stores.
like sri lanka, holland will soon have to start importing its food ...
Pitchforks incoming.
It’s getting late. These government people are WAY TOO empowered and not gotten any push-back for far too long.
You vill eat zee bugs and be happy!
Exactly.
It is all about genocide.
