Farmers blocked Spain's roads with tractors and other farm equipment this week. They did so as protests intensified in several neighboring countries regarding the European Union's measures aimed at climate change and agriculture. Protest leaders claim that regulations prevent them from staying competitive with other agricultural markets.

Farmers from several countries in the European Union They are concerned about the transition to a "greener" agricultural operation, which could include cutting pesticides. Faced with these protests, the commission claims that it formally opened a "strategic dialogue" with agricultural producers, rural communities and companies in the sector.

The farmers' protests in Spain are intensifying on the day that the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced that she would withdraw the Brussels project on reducing the use of pesticides. This proposal has been criticized in recent farmer protests across Europe. Last week, there were protests in the heart of the European Union.

Effective nature protection must offer generous incentives. Only if farmers can live off the land will they invest in the future. Only if we meet our climate & environment goals will farmers be able to make a living. Farmers are aware of this. We should place more trust in them.
