Farmers in action in Europe
Farmers in many EU countries, particularly in Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Belgium, Poland, Italy and Hungary, are not satisfied with recent agricultural policies.
In most European countries, farmers are organizing protests with their tractors to draw attention to their hardships.
EU farmers are heavily critical of the Union’s agricultural policies, nature restoration targets, subsidy cuts, high energy, fuel and fertilizer costs as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war, cheap grain from Ukraine and water conservation measures.
Farmers criticize the EU for “making agricultural production more difficult by imposing strict rules on the use of carbon fertilizers and pesticides under the Green Deal”.
