Farmers on frontline as Dutch divided by war on nitrogen pollution
Government's buyout scheme is meeting fierce resistance from farmers in Netherlands.
Veal farmer Wim Brouwer is one of the Netherlands' peak polluters, due to the nitrogen excreted each year by his 1,360 calves.
His business sits in one of the most intensively farmed parts of Europe's most intensively farmed country, a huge exporter with more than 110 million livestock, including cattle, chickens and pigs.
Nitrogen compound emissions are a big matter in this small, packed country, becoming the dominant political issue over the course of a four-year crisis. Among other impacts, the crisis has hampered crucial housebuilding, because builders need nitrogen permits from a limited supply to cover construction emissions. The crisis has polarised social opinion, spurring the rise of a new rural populist movement and mobilising environmentalists who are desperately concerned about the state of wild habitats.
Brouwer says his farm is carbon neutral, but he fears being a peak polluter means credit lines drying up. As chairman of the local LTO farmers' union branch, he feels strongly for others. "Every 14 days, a farmer in the Netherlands brings an end to their life. If a healthy career lasts for 40 years, we’ve spent 10% of ours living in uncertainty."
A series of supreme court rulings in cases brought by environmentalists have brought the Netherlands to a standstill over pollution. Nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from transport, and ammonia from farming, are negatively affecting EU-protected nature reserves, in breach of EU law.
Dutch farmers pollution buy-out ruling goes live.

A sign warning drivers of high pollution levels in London, UK.
24/01/2023. London, UK.
A sign warning drivers of high pollution levels on the A3 Roehampton Vale south-west London today. This week, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, issued a pollution alert for London brought on by the freezing fog that has gripped the country this week causing delays on the roads and at airports across the UK as temperatures plunged to -8c. Weather forecasters predict a warmer outlook this week with highs of 11c but high pollution levels could remain.

'We are not going away': the volunteers fighting back against England's polluted rivers.
Determined fishers are testing their stretches of river for pollution as citizen scientists take on the water companies.
When the Guardian went to visit some Angling Trust members at their clubs around Reading, there was palpable anger in the air.
This is because water companies have been spewing waste into many of these stretches, destroying the hard work, money, and hours of time anglers put in to keeping the rivers healthy. Now, they are fighting back with determined fishers all over the country testing their stretches of river for pollution using kits supplied by the Angling Trust.
150 volunteers have so far signed up to the sampling scheme in England, covering 50 rivers across 18 catchments, and more clubs are signing up every day.
The Angling Trust is using volunteers from regional fishing clubs to conduct regular tests of river water to better understand what could be polluting the water and the origins of the pollutants. This week the organisation has been working with Swallowfield Fishing Club who fish on the Blackwater in Berkshire. Chatting with club member Martin Moore (centre) are Stuard Singleton-White (l) and Martin Salter (r) of the Angling Trust.

Drought, pollution, floods: Avon in Devon tells story of UK rivers in distress
A journey down the waterway in an area of outstanding natural beauty highlights troubles facing UK rivers.
The river Avon rises from a boggy wilderness. It rushes over granite slabs and waterfalls down rocks, pooling alongside small oaks amid the coconut tang of yellow gorse, before picking up pace once more.
Twenty-three miles downstream its brackish flow swooshes at pace into a steep-sided estuary where paddleboarders ride the tidal motion and surfers run into the swell of Bigbury Bay.
On its journey from the highest reaches of south Dartmoor in Devon, the River Avon plays host to egrets and herons, entertains anglers seeking brown trout and salmon, offers open water for swimmers and lays out its banks for paddling children and picnicking hikers.
Over the last few years the UK's rivers have been gripped by a deepening crisis, with a chemical cocktail of sewage, agricultural waste and other pollution suffocating biodiversity and risking public health.
The Avon fails water quality tests that measure how close it is to its natural state. It suffers from pollution, high phosphate levels, low flows, high temperatures, flash floods, drought and obstructions to its natural movement.

Drought, pollution, floods: Avon in Devon tells story of UK rivers in distress
A journey down the waterway in an area of outstanding natural beauty highlights troubles facing UK rivers.
The river Avon rises from a boggy wilderness. It rushes over granite slabs and waterfalls down rocks, pooling alongside small oaks amid the coconut tang of yellow gorse, before picking up pace once more.
Twenty-three miles downstream its brackish flow swooshes at pace into a steep-sided estuary where paddleboarders ride the tidal motion and surfers run into the swell of Bigbury Bay.
On its journey from the highest reaches of south Dartmoor in Devon, the River Avon plays host to egrets and herons, entertains anglers seeking brown trout and salmon, offers open water for swimmers and lays out its banks for paddling children and picnicking hikers.
Over the last few years the UK's rivers have been gripped by a deepening crisis, with a chemical cocktail of sewage, agricultural waste and other pollution suffocating biodiversity and risking public health.
The Avon fails water quality tests that measure how close it is to its natural state. It suffers from pollution, high phosphate levels, low flows, high temperatures, flash floods, drought and obstructions to its natural movement.
