The Dutch war on its farmers
Listen now
Description
The Dutch government’s push to close 30% of all cattle farms by 2030 in order to cut nitrogen emissions has been called by some: “a war on the nation’s farmers.” The result is a wave of protests AND a brand new political party representing disgruntled farmers that achieved unprecedented success in the recent election. So where does this end? Guests: Louise Manning Professor of Sustainable Agri-food Systems Senay Boztas Journalist Johan Vollenbroek Chairman for Mobilisation for the Environment Sietske Bergsma Lawyer and Publicist Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by Philip Hampsheir, it’s about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:00 GMT on TRT World.
