Dutch farmers have resumed large-scale protests against the government’s nitrogen policy, blocking major highways and disrupting transport across the country. The demonstrations follow months of tension over stricter environmental rules that limit agricultural activities to reduce nitrogen emissions. Authorities have warned of economic and logistical consequences, while farmers argue the measures threaten their livelihoods and the future of Dutch farming. With no immediate resolution in sight, the standoff highlights deep divisions over balancing environmental protection and rural sustainability.
