   European politicians weaken climate policies amid farmer protests. It's much more comfortable in the short term not to bother preparing to keep climate disaster small enough to survive it. But it is foolish in the long term.

     So I just checked and the decisions they made was really bad.
     Tbh most farmers can't afford the lost of productivity, and there's absolutely not enough entities that produces organic products to mitigate the effects of the current unbalanced soil/croplands.
     
     So they can't all at once remove all of their synthetic chemicals otherwise everything will go to shit, it will bring famine among or economic issues, and you have to have management plan per region and progressively with planning move and restore land.
     The EU/countries can't pass laws if these people aren't assisted to do so as they are themselves controlled by market regulations which are imposed by food distributors and chemical industry lobbies.
