The 2024 European farmers' protests are a series of protests by farmers that have been occurring since December 2023. The farmers have protested against low food prices, proposed environmental regulations (such as a carbon tax, pesticide bans, nitrogen emissions curbs and restrictions on water and land usage), and trade in agricultural products with non-European Union member states, such as Ukraine and the Mercosur bloc of South America.[1][4][5][6] The protests take place in a context of the Common Agricultural Policy, a program where the EU provides €57 billion in subsidies to farmers (approximately a quarter of all EU subsidies).[7]
Under the European Green Deal, which aimed at making the European bloc carbon-neutral by 2050, farmers would need to devote 4% of their arable land to non-productive purposes and reduce the use of fertilizer by 20%.[8] In response to the protests, the EU backtracked on policies to consider farming emissions in its 2040 climate roadmap, a law to cut pesticide use and delaying implementation of a target for farmers to leave some land fallow to improve biodiversity.[6] In France and Germany, farmers protested against proposals to scrap tax breaks for agricultural diesel.[9] In the Netherlands, farmers protested against reductions in nitrogen emissions.[8]
The methodology of the farmers is often street blockades and protesting.[10] There are also often occupations, demonstrations, illegal dumping and barricades done by farmers, especially in the Netherlands and France.[11]
