Minister Piet Adema of Agriculture thinks it will cost 6.7 billion euros to implement the measures in the Agriculture Agreement, NOS reports based on a memorandum from the Ministry. One of the measures in that memorandum is limiting the number of cows to about two cows per football field-sized plot of land.
In the future, Dutch agriculture will be fully sustainable. That means a new standard for products in the supermarket, which will increase their price, but also the compensation for farmers. Future farmers will also become responsible for nature management, which they will be compensated for. These are the main proposals from the Agriculture Agreement the Cabinet has been working on with farmers, sources told RTL Nieuws.
