Wait, what do you mean by food shortages in Holland, and especially ones caused by the EU?

There's no food shortage at all. This is about farmers protesting future measures against global warming, which might partially shutdown livestock production.

My point was there will be food shortages once this EU directive gets enforced. Not necessarily in Holland but in their export markets

I was aware of that happening (though that not necessarily leading to significant food shortages), which is why I added the "especially ones caused by the EU". Though re-reading now I guess you weren't talking about energy policy there and instead refer to the Natura 2000 areas it selected (though not really recently)?
