Agriculture has existed for thousands of years. While techniques and processes have evolved — becoming more efficient, effective and reliable — one thing has never changed. People need to eat. Therefore, farmers need to farm. In an attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Dutch government, for example, is deploying a scheme to reduce the number of livestock in the country by one-third. How? By forcing farmers into involuntary buyouts.And in Belgium — as well as other parts of the continent — agriculture businesses face a growing regulatory state that would limit the use of land in an effort to restore habitat.
State lawmakers — prodded by well-funded animal liberation groups with extreme agendas — have passed laws in California and Massachusetts that restrict the sale of veterinary-approved pork, among other products. Like in Europe, the compounding eco-overreach will hit a breaking point that will spark a political mobilization of rural America that we haven’t seen in many years. Given that the U.S. was founded by revolutionary farmers who risked it all to defend their way of life, the backlash against policymakers and elitist urban activists attempting to dictate how farmers manage land is likely to be even more intense.
