Green rules, red tape: What American farmers can learn from EU protests

This is pure socialism and communist central planning in the name of the greatest scam of our time, i.e. the Global Warming hoax and Climate Change religion!

These are bizarre and absurd policies! Such extreme folly!

Where are the animal rights activists when you need them!

"The European Union (EU) has been implementing various measures to fundamentally transform the agricultural sector, notably through initiatives such as the European Green Deal that aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Part of the European Green Deal is the EU’s Farm to Fork Strategy.

The EU describes their Farm to Fork Strategy as being, “at the heart of the Green Deal…a new comprehensive approach to how Europeans value food sustainability.” These policies have faced challenges and criticisms, particularly from farmers.

One of the contentious effects of these agricultural policies is asking farmers to cull herds and sell their farms to meet environmental regulations. For example, the European Commission in 2023 approved two Dutch plans worth a combined 1.47 billion euros ($1.61 billion) to buy out livestock farmers in order to reduce nitrogen pollution.

This policy and other “green” initiatives have led to significant pushback from European farmers, who have engaged in protests against the European Union.

In France, farmers drove through the heart of Paris to protest an EU pesticide ban that affects one of France’s main crops, the sugar beet. In Ireland, similar protests have been held throughout the small country, which is a major producer of dairy products. Ireland’s Department of Agriculture has proposed culling 200,000 cows to meet the EU’s climate objectives. ..."
