Farmers in the Netherlands have blockaded supermarket distribution centres in continuing protests against new environmental rules on nitrogen emissions that are likely to put many of them out of business.
Fishers on Monday blocked ports in a show of support for farmers. The blockade prevented ferries from sailing to almost all the Wadden Islands off the country’s northern coast and caused lengthy delays, shipping companies reported.
Also on Monday, farmers used tractors and large bales of hay to block entrances to the supermarket distribution centres, as the association of food traders warned of supply bottlenecks.
The action had been announced in advance, with farmers calling for “the entire country to be paralysed”.

Disgusting animal abusers.
Some context: Dutch farmers were told to produce as much as possible and were pushed to make huge investments in (eco friendly) new equipment.
A few years later, our government decided that farmers should half their live stock, making it impossible to earn back their investments that the govt pushed for.
If farmers comply with the new rules, they will all go bankrupt, and their identity, which is being a farmer (they often go back many generations) is being destroyed.
The farmers have to cope with an unreliable government which destroys their identity, many farmers have commited suicide, only to comply with fcking Brussels and their out of touch ridiculous dictates
We stand with the farmers
You are the carbon they are trying to eliminate
Nitrogen is 79% of the air we have been breathing all our lives , and now it is damaging the environment while not damaging us. Which genius did what test and discovered that at this time?
1:38 Exactly right. Not sure if that’s the goal here but some European politicians seem determined to make the EU dependent on imports for vital goods. Same as Merkel did with Russian gas, now they want the Netherlands to become dependent on food imports as well?
This is utter madness, local food production needs to be strictly protected. If they think there are environmental issues they need to work with the farmers to fix this, not take their land away.
You see in countries that were dependent on Ukrainian wheat what such a dependency leads to when there is a crisis. And now there’s talk of more refugees coming to Europe because of it. Soon Europeans might be the refugees if they continue with these radical policies, pushed by people who don’t understand the first thing about science nor geopolitics.
Can’t feel sorry for them. These farmers all went along with the global warming scam and now they are its victim. We warned them, but they laughed at us for saying it was a scam. Now they are crying.
Solidarity 👏🏻. In America, the news stations will not even mention any of this. Of course, America has had over 100 food processing plants mysteriously destroyed this year, so there’s THAT
Wait till next year when you and the eu are starving! Idiots
All support to the farmers! Love from the Czech republic!
Love and respect from Croatia 💛🧡💜🖤
Don’t mess with the farmers!
Dutch Police are shooting at 16 year old peacefull protesters now in the Netherlands!🇳🇱🤦🏻♂️😪
Nitrogen emissions aren’t being largely emitted from farms. But the government will never target those that produce the most emissions.
That’s why people protest so it affects peoples lives so there will be change
I fully support the Farmers!
Down with Mark Rutte! Down with Liberalism!
Public support of the government???? Doubt it the world hates libtards!!! Libtards can starve
HOLLAND OLWAYS WANT TO CORRECT OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE MY COUNTRY POLAND, AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN YOUR OWN PEOPLE. SHOULD EU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
TRUMP WARNED us
Winter is comming
Your part of the bullshit government line Al Jazzera. Too much pro government bias. Poor reporting. Farmers are the moral center of this issue not the Clot Slob bribed government.
Lol buncha government freaks. Their days are numbered and they know it.
I support Farmers they should be compensated, but these topics are never simple
I AM FOR YOU,NETHERLAND.Dont submit to globalists goals and environment goals….hunger or environment?we will not go for wnvironmwnt!
Part of the globalist plan to enforce their own agenda, creating artificial food shortages. Meat is bad green is good, but that is only for the common folk, I am sure they will continue enjoying their meat and dairy products, because they will be the only ones who can afford it. They want us to be soy bean eaters. All of this, part of the 2030 agenda.
Bravo to the Dutch farmers.
Freedom is not free… fight for your freedom… do not let the tyrannical leftists and globalists impinge on your freedoms.
**********Nothing will change if the people don’t feel some pain! When the people feel pain then the politicians will feel the pain!********
So when do we get little blue boxes saying the democratic party whole or in part supports CNN and NBC? I support the farmers and I’m glad someone’s covering this.
Everyone should learn from these Farmers and do the same! These are the Very People who produce our food! Thank you very much!! And they are not accidentally targeted. They are targeted so the future production of the food production can be totally controlled. Wake up people. Open your eyes.
Look what those Canadians started
We’re in the midst of a climate crisis and action must be taken. It will hurt people. It hurts me to see the smallest of the farming communities bearing the weight. I’m not here to give answers. But it’s becoming more clear that there is a price to be paid for the devastation we’ve brought upon this actually miniscule spaceship called earth, which holds limited resources to support the brood of the human society. Who will pay? All of us, ultimately
European emission targets are BS; as unscientific as it gets. Its tyrannical propaganda not science; criticise it and they will want to imprison you.
they say it as a fact that its the cause of all evil, sure the EU wont be happy until we have no heating or food this winter
I fear the farmers will be ignored like the truckers in Canada.
This is a world wide crisis.
The Green Energy agenda, which is promoted by the WEF cabal, is anti-environment.
See Vandana Shiva, a real environmentalist, for the truth.
The end game is depopulation.
they ll do like everywhere else..
bring in foreign riot/military police. to quell these riots.
Gogogo farmers!
So if all these farms close down where will the food come from? Oh… another country that doesn’t have these strict regulations
The Netherlands reclaims an entire province for agriculture yet wants to reduce farming?
WEF
Best of luck to the Dutch farmers! Don’t give up!
they want to kill us all
Eco-tyranny from the ideologue bureaucrats in the government.
Government bureaucrats DO NOT PRODUCE FOOD – or anything else for that matter!!!!!!!!!!!
The Netherlands may end up choosing collective farms run by green-government bureaucrats. People would starve but hey, the earth would be Ok! 😮✅
The EU should allow the Ukraine to become an EU member – that will help! 😂🇺🇦
This is BS!! Communist!!!!!
STOP TYRANNY! STOP WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM (WEF)! STOP KLAUS SCHWAB! STOP NETHERLANDS PRIME MINISTER (AND WEF AGENDA CONTRIBUTOR) MARK RUTTE! STOP TYRANNY!
Just like Trudeau in Canada. You will eat environmentally friendly insects, live in your affordable hostel, pay carbon taxes to pay for my private jet fuel and caviar – and you will love it or I will seize your grocery money and have my minions fire you for disagreeing.
Bill Gates wants to feed you….
Shut it down farmers! Power to the people!
Keep fighting!! Beautiful stuff!
Most of these people think food COMES from the supermarket.
Stop eat animals humanos..
Never heard of this nitrogen problem in all my life – all of a sudden, the sky is falling.
Keep the people down, then they can rule.
Hold on they take the farms then.. wheres the food??? Exactly !!
The USA is next…. im thinking 🤔 this new world order is bs
Just go to the farmers for food directly .. sending prayers from USA utah
All because of stupid European sanctions on Russia
As Syrian Canadian we are all in this together unity and support from Canada
What’s happened to Holland is it becoming a dictatorship
Yes disrupt it all – all citizens need to Join the protest!
every person in the Netherlands should protest and target politician homes to support these famers
NITROGEN CON IS THE NEW CO2 SCAM. 80% Nitrogen in the Earth’s atmosphere is NOT going to be altered by human intervention!! WAKE UP!!!
You liars! You pretend to respect farmers… You are guilty,too🤫
Now comes the pain!!: Dutch government hides the fact that anti-Russian sanctions is behind this situation: Cause Holland has no access anymore to the Russian fertiliser!!
BUT Holland government, can’t announce such a thing to the citizens because she has to answer for her choice to turn against Russia and THEREFORE: She has found the invention of climate change😁😉
Kisses!
Nitrogen, 70% of the atmosphere….and they try to stop emmisions….
Holy based
The emissions targets are a fraud, there is no such thing as man-made climate change from CO2 it’s an absolute hoax!
They will be labeled racist and beaten by the army next
Stay strong✊🇺🇲🇳🇱🇨🇦
all bullshit trying to kill the food supply fk government
Why did the Netherlands care about cutting pollution when China and India account for about 30% of all global emissions? I would be more worried about my farmers not being able to produce enough food
the goal of the european left is to make white people minoroties on their own land and destroy the european economy
the goal of the european left is to destroy the economy and make europeans minorities on their own land
Where’s all the videos of the police shooting at the farmers for driving by them? where’s all the videos of all the military gear that’s coming out against these people where’s all the videos of police dressed in plain clothes trying to arrest people on the street and the people started to fight back and now it’s deemed a violent protest because the people decided to fight back? And that’s exactly what happened police showed up in black T-shirt and jeans and try to arrest these people but the citizens wouldn’t let it happen so then main stream media over there decided to report that it’s violent now but they left out the truth
Nitrogen and co2? I’m calling bullshit😂
Some can send rockets into the sky, while others are not allowed to own cows. This is funny and sad
If the US is the #1 in agricultural industry, then the US media NEEDS to cover this!!!
No farmers no food. Say not to elite masons! American elite masons are really trying their best to bring the world to standstill with so called climate change agenda. In fact climate change is an inevitable process and no one can reverse it. This is done because they want to depopulate people
WHITE DUTSCH POLICER SHOOT FARMERS BUT FOR BLM THEY KNEEL AND MASSAGE BBC
Are nitrogen emissions from cows are more dangerous and in quantity than smoke from vehicles and huge factories and plants? If you kill farming in Europe what will be left there? A mechanical robotic life so far away from nature and human civilization!
stand strong. if the rest of the country start to protest and push back along with them against the government, then they will back off with their agenda
Sure the chemtrails from the contractors that CBS News finally is telling the world that they’re trying to save everyone from climate change oh but the chemtrails aren’t hurting the atmosphere either it’s all those cow farts
This is why u don’t give up yourGuns
Comming from Australia its only a matter of time before the government does the same here to get in line with the 2030 green ideology. I hope these farms keep going to prove their point.
The air is 78% nitrogen. Ammonia, Nitrates and Nitrites are broken down through biological processes. Who here had a fish tank?
They have buyers lined up to create a global food business all part of a NWO plan
I stand with the Dutch farmers – this dehumanising rubbish agenda is being forced on all people who live under WEF-puppet led governments… Obviously, you need to cause some pain to get klaus’ cronies to listen. None of this protest is being shown on MSM but same dictates are happening here, in NZ – sadly the masses are way too compliant and everything we know and love will be gone before they get off their a$$es to protest! Our peaceful protesters at NZ parliament were vilified and destroyed by our evil government and its riot squad (police force), in March 2022…
Farmers are the real back of every country, not politicians.
I wonder what will happen when people are starving and you’re in a famine?
No farmers no food. 🙏🏻❤️
Farmers argue that they are being unfairly targeted as polluters while other industries, such as aviation, construction and transport, also are contributing to emissions and face less far-reaching rules. They also say the government is not giving them a clear picture of their futures amid the proposed reforms.
Qhen te Buffalo roamed the earth there were much larger numbers than cows. The farmers disruption won’t be any worse than the food supply damage that forcing farmers to stop producing food will have. People will “live” eating bugs I guess.
This non-sense has to stop and.peiple have to learn that we are Not causing a catastrophe, the parasitic elites and there idea of New/Liberal World Order, great reset, build back better is who is creating crisis so they can offer the solution. When everyone is crying for food, to heat their homes, to live life decently, these arrogant elites trying to control the economy of world, supply, resources and the population numbers, will “save” everyone (except those they’ve killed while they create this destruction) with “their” solution
The only chance to save the country, the transition to a Participatory Democracy System.
In the 21st century, the Representative democratic system no longer has its purpose, nor its logic, its motivation. If 800 years ago the people could not vote what was in their interest because the technical means did not allow, today in the 21st century, the people can vote without representatives, they can vote directly on their mobile phone any legislative proposal.
A civilized country in the 21st century must move from a Representative Democracy in which the people are represented in Parliament by politicians, to a system of Participatory Democracy in which any major decision, any important law is subject to referendum and the people to vote for or against. Politicians do not represent our interests of the people.
The referendum is an important part of the democracy of New Zealand, Switzerland because it allows the public to have a direct say on the changes to the law.
Referendum initiated by citizens
The citizens’ legislative initiative belongs to a number of at least 5,000 citizens with the right to vote. Citizens who exercise their right to legislative initiative must come from the country’s counties.
If this legislative initiative is voted by the citizens then it must become enforceable.
One thought, one wish Citizen referendum with the right of veto. All politicians who do not support this initiative are corrupt.
Let’s discuss the need to eliminate these nasty klaus schwab governments from the face of the earth. I propose a space flight to the van allen belt. There they can eat their own feces all day. How about it, people of the world ?
So if I understand right. The government is killing the income and job of farmers. So their respond are blocking food chain so the society feels the same as them.
I guess the problem is the society who just care about themselves. So because they don’t care about the farmers the government is able to do what they do. If they would support the farmers they would stop doing it.
So yesterday 100km/h speed limit which resultes in heavy traffic jam and today killing farmers and fishers income. What comes next?
