Farmers and activist stage protest against nitrogen policy
epa08078751 Builders gather with their vehicles on an industrial in order to protest against nitrogen policy in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, 18 December 2019. The demonstration is organized by the Construction in Resistance foundation, which also calls on farmers to join their slow-driving campaigns. According to media reports, the Dutch Senate approved new nitrogen reduction measures, created to curb nitrogen emission levels and nitrogen ground contamination. The measures have stalled the expansion of livestock farms, which create nitrogen as a byproduct of animal waste. EPA/ROBIN VAN LONKHUIJSEN
