The bite-sized Western European nation is the second-largest food exporter on earth, after only the United States, which is 237 times larger."
I did not know that about the Netherlands! Impressive.

Betcha they are growing more food than in the 1960s, though, which means whatever "emissions" they have from fertilizer are actually going down, on a ton-per-ton basis. Globalist will never mention that, though.
But this article's point is twofold: (1) that all the "experts" who are bringing on this net-zero nonsense are PROFOUNDLY IGNORANT about the things they are trying to regulate, and (2) they assume the "working class" is behind all this leftist nonsense--but they're not.
