Honestly, I know for a fact that we have some very intensive pork farming in the south-east, for example, about which you have to wonder: is this really tenable? Is it really desirable that we concentrate this on the little space we've got?

But this is moot because this is really not what it's about. Any real environmental concerns have long been transformed into the grand narrative of the 'nitrogen crisis'. Based not on actual emissions data, but on garbage-in, garbage-out models in the same way as with every other 'crisis' (climate, Covid, whatever) that always translates to: "It's a crisis, unfortunately the only thing we can do is give the government total and perpetual power to shut everything down whenever they like. There is no alternative, we must do something, what do you propose, we do nothing???"

And then you get situations like:

- Farmer plants trees and shrubs to contribute to biodiversity in his area. Then the nitrogen plans come out, and it turns out he'll have to be forcibly bought out and never allowed to farm again, because his cows 'pollute' the land he just transformed.
- Construction projects were stopped due to the nitrogen emissions norms. Regional government buys out a large tract of farmland, so now they meet the emissions norms again and can build. They decide to use the farmland they've bought to build a large reception centre for asylum seekers.

All this is only tangentially related to ammonia pollution. It is merely the bureaucratic alibi for the evisceration of one of the most efficient agricultural sectors in the world, and the clearing of space, sometimes directly for the housing of more rapefugees.
