Already happening with California agriculture

Ag Order 4.0 was jus implemented

below is the nitrogen formula that California farmers must adhere to for nitrogen application:

Ag Order 4.0 Finalized: Implications for Nitrogen Management of Vegetables on the Central Coast

On April 15th, the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (CCRWQCB) finalized and approved Ag Order 4.0. The new rulings affect several aspects of agricultural production such as buffer areas and discharge of pesticides to water ways. In this article we will focus on the impacts of Ag Order 4.0 on the use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers.

New targets and limits on the use of N fertilizer are calculated using the A minus R metric. In this scenario, “A” is N applied to the crop in the form of fertilizer (Afertilizer), N in irrigation water (Airrigation), N supplied by compost (Acompost) and N mineralized from organic fertilizer (Aorganic fertilizer). “R” is N removed from the field by the crop (Rharvest), scavenged during the winter fallow by cover crops or immobilized by high-carbon compost (Rscavenge), N removed by denitrification bioreactors (Rtreated), N sequestered in woody plant biomass (Rsequestered), or other unspecified forms of N removal from fields (Rother). A - R is not to exceed the targets or limits shown in Table 1. The A-R is calculated over the growing season on a land acre basis. If two or more crops are grown on the same physical acre, each crop contributes to the value for the year.

Can you picture mom and pop family farmer siting around the dinner table at night trying to figure this out.

First they came for your CO2, then they came for your nitrogen, finally they’ll come for your oxygen ...

“Reducing Nitrogen Use Key to Human and Planetary Health: Study”

TRANSLATED: The Neocons/Globalists are coming after meat. But first they must drive Russia out of Ukraine and weaken (ideally overthrow) the Russian government.

Nearly half-a-trillion dollars in avoided costs are spread across reduced premature deaths from air pollution, less damage to ecosystem services and increased crop yields.

In other words, the benefits are pure speculation based on computer models with very little data.

How can you measure future "damage to ecosystem services", whatever that is?

How can you measure "premature deaths from air pollution", at best purely speculative.

If they control energy, food and money, all they have to do is disarm you and, then, they control you.

"a financial budget could be secured by taxing food consumers

What? This would miss all the people who don't consume food.

Yes it is. And it’s in our oceans, rivers and streams. It’s used to make paint!

Reducing nitrogen pollution

The atmosphere is about 72% nitrogen. Idiots.

Yeah this nitrogen kick is a real tell—their agenda is to subdue humanity to serfdom dependent on the New World Order for food. As Dostoevsky says in The Grand Inquisitor: “In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, “make us your slaves, but feed us.”
