261 Dutch farmers blockading highways today. They're protesting against the government plan to reduce nitrogen from cow poop by 50% by 2030 which would drive them out of business, based on the claim that nitrogen reduces plant diversity.

Reducing plant diversity is kind of the whole purpose of cultivation and farming.
Cute but wrong.
Diversity is not strength. Farmers need to keep weeds out of their fields, prevent cross pollination with wild strains, select for top 1% genetics and cull the rest.
