Boer Hans uit Borkel vreest voor einde bedrijf door nieuw stikstofpakket

The cabinet's new nitrogen package is intended to lift the Netherlands out of the nitrogen deadlock. However, for many farmers in Brabant, it primarily brings new uncertainty. It is precisely here that many Natura 2000 areas and many livestock farms are located. Farmers will face stricter emission regulations, and some businesses will have to become more sustainable, expand their operations, or possibly close down. Hans Sprengers, a third-generation dairy farmer in his family in Borkel, has been dealing with constantly changing regulations regarding farming for years. The impact on him and his family is very significant, and he fears the end of his business.
