Who owns these farms though? Why is govt buying it? If they want shut down, then just shut down.

Plus Netherlands has small land area, and much of it is reclaimed from the sea. I am guessing is the large multinationals that own these farms. This whole scheme sounds like another bailout for big agribusiness; just like the farm subsides Murka gives to its own big agribusinesses.

Article in OP does not make this clear.

"food shortages" means starvation and death, on a global and biblical scale. You'll see it first in the poorest countries in Africa, and with the war in Ukraine (they produce ALOT of wheat in case you didnt know... but not now).


There's 7.7 or 8 billion people on this planet. There will be LESS not MORE people by 2040.
Perhaps this is the goal of global elitists. Starve out the poor African nations, effectively murdering 100s of millions of people while simultaneously calling for billions in funds to help poor, starving African countries that the global elite can loot.

"The productivity of Africa’s agriculture is low as the continent’s crop yields have lagged behind the rest of the world.  More than half of the labour force work in agriculture, and the labour productivity very low. The agriculture ‘value added’ per worker in Sub-Saharan Africa is less than half the global average. The yields of the main cereal crops have stagnated at less than 25% of potentially attainable yields."

Aren't the shelves already bare in the US and food riots are ongoing? It's winter after all.

Not all food aisles, just the baby formula shelves for months on end...

If you really analyze human behavior you see how comical it is that the people in charge are perhaps the most inept of all even though they would disagree.

Right...the Netherlands was supplying much of Europe with fresh vegetables/meat.
The Netherlands has excellent soil and adhere to very good ag practices.

Europe will suffer from this at both ends...no energy and no food.
That is where the riots will start.

It's just too much on too little space.
That's how big is Netherlands:

Why haven't we looked into vertical farms?
