The European Union narrowly approved the controversial green deal Nature Restoration Law on Monday, sparking condemnation from farmers’ organizations who fear it will further undermine their ability to feed the continent and make a living. [emphasis, links added]
A vote on the Nature Restoration Law at a meeting of the EU’s Council of Ministers in Luxembourg passed by the “slimmest margin” possible as 20 countries, representing 66 percent of the population of the bloc surpassed the needed majority threshold of 65 percent and therefore passed the long-delayed green deal legislation into law.
The law aims to see EU countries “restore” at least 30 percent of natural habitats to good condition by 2030 and 90 percent by 2050, Euractiv reports.
Farmers, who have staged large-scale tractor protests in opposition to the green agenda favored by elites in Brussels have warned that this will result in massive swaths of arable farmland blocked off, endangering the livelihoods of farmers and threatening the food security of Europe.
