This is also about government treating the Netherlands as some kind of city state or future city state, with lots of immigration and globalist anywhere's, who of course ruin the climate with their air travel but somehow that is excused, and for nitrogen emissions too. The farmers have a different, more realistic opinion on that. Most of them know that it's nonsense to produce the meat for Asia in such a small and densely populate area, but they have been working within a very tight framework set by government and the bank (it's mostly one bank indeed) that forced their business model to be about more more more meat.
They still managed to reduce their nitrogen emissions by 60% and many farmers take care of nature, but now have to stop farming because dodgy scientific models claim they are destroying the nature they created themselves Besides it's already proven the models aren't right, the Netherlands has hardly any wild nature. Just like the country itself most is manmade, it's nature is often younger than the farms that now have to end and the farming families that will get a berufsverbot on top of being disowned.
There's an impliciti choice in this about what the government thinks the Netherlands is, what government is entitled to do with it and for whom, at the expense of what and who and that's much more profound than making sacrifices for nature (and climate). This is not really about protecting nature.
