The European Commission in Brussels has backed a scheme by the globalist government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte in the Netherlands that would see thousands of farms shut down in order to comply with EU climate goals.
On Tuesday, the governing arm of the European Union officially threw its support behind plans by the Dutch government to buy out thousands of farmers from their lands in order to meet the EU’s Natura 2000 scheme to protect certain environments. The plan, which would offer farmers 120 per cent of the value of their farm, could see some 3,000 so-called “peak” emitters of nitrogen shut down.
It was unclear before this week whether the EU would permit such a scheme, as it could have potentially fallen afoul of regulations surrounding state aid or subsidies. However, Brussels said that the plans were “necessary and appropriate” as they met the broader goals of the European Green Deal.
“The positive effects transcend any distortions of the free market,” the statement added.
In addition to the plan to buyout — or eventually force out if they refuse — the “peak” emitting farms, the government is also planning a separate scheme that would give dairy, pig, and poultry farmers a deal for 100 per cent of the value of their farm if they wished to shut down. In total, some 1.4 billion euros is expected to be set aside for both farm shutdown schemes.
Should the plan go ahead, it would not only be a major blow for the farming industry in the Netherlands, which is one of the most productive in Europe but could potentially impact other nations as well, given that part of the condition of the buyout scheme is that the Dutch farmers would be prohibited from moving to other countries...

Just where do they think food is going to come from?!
Coming to AMERICA!!!
This is being done by a so-called “rightist” government in collaboration with the statist bureaucrats of the EU (the word “conservative” in most of Europe means a Joe Biden Democrat). And the only ones who are standing against it are a wonderful 20-something young lady who has organized nationwide opposition, the farmers who like the kulaks in Russia face losing everything, and thousands of their supporters who like to eat and know where the food comes from. Believe me, they will try it here.
Do you know the name of this young lady?
The EU is the Fourth Reich.
They will publicly announce it at some point.
Eva Vlaardingerbroek; she is 26 and I would not exchange one of her for 1000 Mitch McConnells.
So smart, and possibly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
Joan of Arc standing up for her people. When they come for us, I expect the opposition will be led by some people considered “common” in their wealth or occupations, just as the uprising in the Vendee Region against the early Bolsheviks of the French Revolution was led by a gamekeeper and a priest.
That farm even if sold at greater than ‘market value’ today, will be worth 10x or 100x as inflation kicks in.
😉👌
Working to lower the world population to 500 million. Starvation worked for Stalin and Mao, this will make them look like pikers.
No wonder my kin folk bailed back in the early 1600s. 😁👍⛵
Anyone who screws with farmers is my enemy. In this case, this is the plant-based, eco-pukes in the cities who want to shut down primarily Dutch livestock farmers. Chicken, eggs, beef, dairy and so on.....
Seriously. This is vegan types going after the Dutch “meat” farmers. Under the guise of being concerned about their nitrogen outputs.
“As if tiny Holland makes an impact on the global temperature. This is sheer insanity.”
Population 17 million
That’s about the size of Houston if including the 10 million illegal aliens doing yard work here.
“Simply prohibit the sale of farm land to them by law.”
in EVERY country that they might move to?
You will eat nothing and be happy.
The French have a device that worked extremely well for taking care of their “overseers”. Perhaps it’s time to dust it off and do a little honing.
I thought the World needed food.
Only 500 million of the World’s population need food according to Klaus and the WEF (which includes Soros, Biden and pretty much all current world leaders)
