How do we solve the nitrogen problem?
Back to the core. Agriculture is essentially: getting food from your ecosystem. To do that, you have to maintain that ecosystem. Then agricultural land is also nature and separate protected nature reserves are not even necessary.
To do that, we have to go back to the cycle: without fertilizers and concentrated feed, that's all. Organic farmers show that it is possible. Organic dairy farmers earn better than regular ones. The milk is healthier. You will then get another land (herb-rich grassland) and other cows. Our current cows produce 40 litres of milk per day and live 5 years. A cow can also live to be 15, not be so completely exhausted and live a happy life. That produces less milk, so less money. But a farmer not only produces food, he maintains the ecosystem; that should also generate money.
Farmers are better off then. They work in balance with nature again, they regain respect, keep fewer animals, earn more per animal.
If BBB is really there for the farmers, they will want to participate in this transformation. The only losers are the big agricultural firms. Producers of fertilizer and concentrated feed. The BBB sponsors.
You can read more about it in Oudman's book/pamphlet. It's already in the top 10 books! Great news that so many people want to read this. tco/BvEDPCoQd1
