This is so sad. We need a better plan to implement these goals, keeping things as easy and profitable as possible, not abandon them altogether. Now I fear we're at another point of just doing nothing, making matters worse each year for everyone, especially farmers.

Victory for farmers climate change.
This is an absolute loss for climate change. They're now allowing those farmers to continue with their nitrogen and greenhouse emissions.
Wait until the EU elections. If the far right sweep them, as many are predicting, we will probably see diesel subsidies funded by scrapping renewable energy and sustainable transport projects.
Can't wait to fucking die from climate change
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.
I have a feeling the ecosystem won’t give too many fucks about our protests. Let’s see those sad farmer faces when a heatwave wipes out their crop. Then they’ll be asking for subsidies.
Fuck this species and all the worst to us in an upcoming apocalypse of our own making.
At this point I just hope we go extinct. We're too stupid to deserve going on as a species.
The issue isn't reducing emissions or eating less meat. I'm sorry but farmers were idiots after WW2. They believed everything what politics said to them and implemented everything. In others words, they implemented "producing more for cheaper".
In a documentary, a farmer said that he double his production of pork because politics said he will make twice the profits. This is just an example. We could go further with agro-chemicals.
They believed people whom promised magical money. Farmers shouldn't be mad at the ecology but at the capital which drive them in the actual situation. The capital after WW2 changed how they have to produce. The agri-food business makes profits out of it not the environment.
And, farmers since the 60s and 70s invested in new production facilities to produce more meat. But, if people want to reduce their consumption of meat, famers can produce the quantity they want, they won't sell it. And, agri-food corporations will lower the buying price and farmer will be fucked up.
Well done farmers. You enslaved yourself to the capital and now are blaming everything except what you did...
Producing more plant-based food is actually a lot more efficient, as animals poop out a significant amount of the calories you feed them. Hence, you'd actually need a lot fewer imports.
Producing animal products in the current amounts is a lose-lose-lose-lose-lose scenario: people work a lot harder to produce unhealthy products from tortured creatures which are bad for the environment, creating additional cost everywhere.
So what's the point?
As if that stopped then from implementing harmful laws. Remember article 10, requiring digital upload filters.
