The European Union -owned school who has always been slow -moving has failed to know the autumn, and did not learn lessons from the Dutch experience. In the absence of communication with farmers, it promoted the policy until the farmers' anger and fire.Ryan had to meet with farmers' groups, saying that he should avoid extreme discussions and promise to find constructive solutions.
There are no Mercedes -Benz cars on the European highway. The tractor with a long -term dragon stepped forward. The strong body looks like a tank on the battlefield.In the spring of 2024, German farmers continued to protest at the end of last year. The war quickly extended to neighboring countries. France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, and Romania drove tractors one after another, and discharged dissatisfaction on the street.
In order to cope with the fiscal crisis, the German government deleted the tax reduction and exemption of agricultural diesel at the end of 2023, becoming the fuse of the anger of farmers.Farmers in Poland and Romania have continued to protest the logistics of Ukraine's transit valley in the local market since the beginning of last year, lower prices, and suffer from the suffering of German farmers.French farmers have accused the purchase price of large -scale business. In addition to work in the field, they must also fill in a variety of lengthy and complicated administrative forms.Italian protests are not large, but in addition to criticizing domestic policies like other farmers, they also point the arrows to the EU's "Green Deal" and complain about the "Farm to Fork" and biological biology.Diversity policies are stifling agriculture and rural areas.
The "Green Revolution" that swept the world since 1960 pushed agricultural output and low prices, but relying on the production methods of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which also caused soil deterioration and pollution; dense breeding allowed more people to eat cheap meat products, But also increased carbon emissions, the excretion of livestock has become a tricky waste.As the climate changes are more and more intense, the European Union tries to reduce the carbon emissions of agriculture and promote a more pro -environmental and healthy food food system.Half of the goal of reducing fertilizer use by 25%.
Ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny. As soon as Green Zheng went on the road, he encountered the crown disease and disrupted the global supply chain.After the economy resumed slightly, the Russian and Ukraine War broke out in 2022, raising energy prices, fertilizer and feed should also rise, farmers grit their teeth, and see that the profits are getting thinner and even to do business.The EU has invested in a large budget subsidy agriculture, but the latest common agricultural policy (Common Agricultural Policy) specifications must be farmed, leaving a natural conservation place, and also made farmers feel that they tied their hands.Competitiveness.
About 90 % of the French support farmers' protests, but when they buy, many people cannot resist the temptation of prices and buy cheaper imported agricultural products.The EU promoted agricultural transformation and pushing the cost of production, but the lack of supporting the cause of procurement, some public agencies and school cafeterias cannot afford expensive organic ingredients, although they are interested, they are unable to support hard -produced farmers;Farmers have no return.Farmers have also criticized that the EU has set high standards in one hand and signed a free trade agreement in one hand. However, it does not require importing agricultural products to follow the same specifications to enter the EU market at a low price, resulting in unfair competition.
Some people have called for delaying the implementation of the green administration, and even the cancellation.However, groups that advocate agricultural and environmental protection point out that under the lobbying of some pesticide factories and large agricultural groups, Green Political Affairs has been greatly irrigated to reduce pesticide use, reduce intensive breeding, manage new genetic transformation technologies, prohibit carcinogenic herbicides, and so on.The measures were put on hold or diluted.Measures such as rotation and leaving natural conservation have just been implemented early this year, and it has not yet exerted its effects.
Farmers' livelihood difficulties originated from large -scale agricultural chemical, grain and agricultural companies, and chain supermarkets to control the production and sales chain. Abandoning the green administration is the Shen Yan of the problem again, not the solution.Many farmers are also willing to transform, but at the time of taking into account both environmental protection, justice of justice and transformation of transformation is also required to share the cost and profits of the transformation on average.More and more farmers have invested in organic production, but they consume more high -quality agricultural agricultural agricultural agricultural, but often do not get the corresponding price feedback.Some farmers do fall into trouble and need the European Union's more detailed agricultural transformation planning, but some farmers have also become a Maqiu of international grain merchants and agricultural chemical companies to defend the agricultural production model at the expense of ecology and health.
Right -right harvesting
The Dutch area is only over 40,000 square kilometers, but it is the world's second largest exporter of agricultural product exporters. The dense breeding technology has been highly praised, but a large number of livestock excrement pollutes the soil and water.In 2019, the administrative court ruled that the nitrogen emissions in the Netherlands must be reduced immediately.A few months later, the couple farmers realized that the judgment would be completely reversed in their work, but the Dutch government has launched policies in full swing.At that time, Prime Minister Mark Rutte planned to reduce nitrogen emissions by half in 2030. In order to meet the standards, many couple farmers must reduce the number of livestock raised, or even close the door.
Lewte's policy is not fast, and thousands of dairy farmers protested that the government broke their way.The top -down strong policy triggered a strong rebound in the tentaneous farmer, pushing the right right Gert Wilders to the cusp.The Liberal Party led by the Liberal Party criticized the environmental transformation policy and attacked immigration, and finally won the 2023 election.
The EU -owned sects, which have always been slow in action, failed to know the autumn, and did not learn lessons from the Dutch experience. In the absence of communication with farmers, they promoted the policy until the farmers' anger and the star.Farmers' groups met that they should avoid extreme discussions and promise to be willing to find constructive solutions.
The European Parliament Election will be held in June. Right -ranging from the farmer's front steps. Farmers who have grown natives are often supporters of rightists. They return to tradition and defend the land slogan, which can impress their hearts.The protest scene was the German alternative selection of the party (AFD) and the French National Alliance (RN).FDI) has collected important farmers' organization "Coldiretti" early to temporarily ease attacks on the EU.
But the populist party always needs an enemy, the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Association and the Italian Brothers' Agricultural Minister Francesco LOLLOBRIDA to create a straw enemy -artificial meat trained in the laboratory to defend the traditional diet.Name, calling on the European Union to ban artificial meat.Although the European Union has not approved the sale of artificial meat, there are currently no companies applying for artificial meat to be listed in the European Union, and the meat is not the main source of protein for the Mediterranean diet;Essence
The flood in the spring of 2023 flooded the important granarie Romagna in the southern part of the Bohe River in Italy.Nine months later, they no longer "high" in the disaster area, but came to Romanie with a blackhead car.Feng Delin, who intends to re -elected the Chairman of the European Commission, actively attracted Meloni to promise to allocate 12 billion euros (about S $ 17.4 billion) to improve the local flood prevention construction.However, many heavy farmers have not even received the subsidy that the government agreed last year. It is difficult for the election check to buy people's hearts, and farmers are still angry.
