If you control peoples’ food, you control people.

For example, the Netherlands, while a relatively small country, is the second-largest agricultural exporter in the world, the largest exporter of meat among all EU nations, and the third largest dairy exporter in the world. The Dutch climate proposal up for consideration would close up to 30% of their farms and force farmers to kill off livestock in order to comply with European Union (EU) environmental rules. When the newly created Dutch Minister for Nature and Nitrogen Policy announced the plan, local farmers were given three options—(1) Comply; (2) Relocate; or (3) Shutdown. There was no sleight of hand, the government made it clear “there is not a future for all [Dutch] farmers within [this] approach.”

With reduced output, what will likely happen is that the Netherlands will simply stop exporting food so it can continue feeding its own people. Others elsewhere will starve.

Samantha Power’s statement that manure and compost could substitute for modern fertilizers shows her ignorance. 100 years ago manure and compost were the only fertilizers and crop yields were but a fraction of what is produced today. Ending or limiting the use of fertilizers could mean empty shelves at the grocery store, food rationing or famine.
