These farmers want to care for nature, but still have great difficulty with the nitrogen plans. 'If you look at it closely, it just doesn't make sense'

Organic farmers Peter Oosterhof and Agnes de Boer express concerns about new nitrogen policies in the Netherlands, which aim to reduce emissions but may threaten their sustainable practices. They emphasize the importance of maintaining soil health and reducing reliance on imported feed. Despite producing less milk, they argue that their methods are more environmentally friendly and economically viable. The government plans to enforce stricter nitrogen limits, which could disproportionately affect smaller farms. Oosterhof and de Boer advocate for a system that rewards sustainable farming rather than penalizing it, hoping to set a standard for the agricultural sector.
