Farmers in Belgium drove their tractors to Brussels to protest a plan to cut nitrate levels. More than 2,700 farm vehicles converged in the European city.
The Flemish regional government is struggling to find a deal to cut nitrate pollution over farmers’ objections that it would put many out of business.
Tractors driven by angry farmers block traffic on a road in the center of Brussels, during a demonstration on March 3, 2023. Farmers also claim that their trade has to make much deeper cuts than industry and want to see a more equitable spread. Negotiations have lingered for weeks and weakened the regional government of northern Belgium to breaking point.The debate over agricultural pollution is increasingly turning into a political issue in many of the EU’s farming nations.
