The European Union has caved in to angry protests from farmers, cutting its target to scrap specific agricultural emissions which formed part of the bloc’s net zero drive.

A demand to reduce nitrogen, methane and other emissions linked to farming by almost a third has been removed from a wider Brussels plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 90 per cent by 2040.

Victory for the farmers, or victory for the pesticide industry?

In some places the food and agricultural supplies industry is running the farmers' lobby groups and is pretty much lobbying against the actual farmers in order to improve their own ability to exploit them.
