Complying is expected. The survivors will be herded into cities.

It’s all about decentralizing the power centers, Independant countries. No one country can be self sufficient. Depending on the global supply line which is operated by elite political families and business men. This is Authoritarian capitalism. Not too different from Bolshevikism.
Several world powers to play off one another. A multipolar world. Sure. Makes it easier for the banker clans and other elite familys to control the plebes.
No, Mr. EU, I expect you... to die.
What was the reason behind it? I did not even know nitrogen emissions were that big of a deal and is not like the world does not need food. What is the point of closing down farms? How will it help the climate to move productions in countries that do not care about the environment?
NItrogen emissions are a big deal to a degree because they can wreak havoc on waterways, and soil health.
That does not mean that a Bolshevik Common Sense Food Control program should be tolerated.
For Climate Change? None. Mitigating nitrogen emissions is important generally, so typically what we have farmers do in the US is to use different fertilizers, or less fertilizers than what they are currently using, along with controlling water run-off, or planting nitrogen fixing plants, shrubs, or trees that will help re-balance the soil chemistry.
For Power? It gives you control over the food supply. If you're people can't feed themselves, they become dependent on you. Again, this is what the Bolsheviks did in Russia. They killed many hundreds of thousands of people, starving their political enemies and their supporters to deaths in weaponized famines. It also guarantees that your political allies in AgriBiz can't be challenged, and independent farmers can be destroyed, lessening competition for your corporate loyalists.
Do you have a sense of how effective the nitrogen mitigation is? I would assume that the Dutch would be among the best in the world at such mitigation given (a) their general awesomeness; and (b) their country is so tiny that any pollution would be a huge problem.
I'm afraid I don't know that level of specificity.
I genuinely did not know that, thank you. It still would make more sense to find ways to do farming without as much emissions then closing them down. Removing food production seems so illogical.
That's because it is, and is an entirely superfluous excuse to seize the food supply.
In the real world, soil ecology is super important to... farming, so the farmers will likely have a good incentive not to waste nitrogen (as it means wasted fertilizer), and don't want to harm their own waterways. Those incentives weren't taken because the point is to close farms.
To build high density urban housing for "refugees"
They want to kill everyone who does not do as they say.
Nitrogen pollution is real.
Cutting off the food supply to control dissent is also real, and a more serious matter.
Until those responsible for this nonsense start getting killed, nothing will change. It'll just get worse and worse up until the point that there's no longer any able-bodied men capable of doing a damn thing about it. And that's their goal.
I really hope those WEF leaders have good security who will protect them while the security teams family members starve and die. Because if they don't, they are going to be French Revolutioned in short order when famine hits caused by their green dream causing us a nightmare of famine and poverty.
No worries. They’ll just get their food from the breadbasket of Europe. Ukraine.
Shucks, the protests aren't working. Protest harder!
you bought 1 year of non-perishable food and know how to purify and store water, right? I hope so.
time for the farmers to escalate.
So all those protesting farmers, what did it accomplish?
