(Dane here) - this is a major reversal on the food-security policy that drove not just innovation in intensive farming technologies in Denmark in the late nineteenth century, but also the formation of what is now the EU, post WWII, on a european scale.

Let's hope butter and bacon from Poland is going to cover our needs.

Pole here - Poland switched form being a pork exporter to an importer over the course of the last few decades.

Top external suppliers are...

Denmark (53kt)

Belgium (50kt)

Germany (44kt)

The Netherlands (24.5kt)

Spain (24.5kt)

Our issues in The Netherlands are probably similar to Denmark's and the biggest issue is not all agriculture. Meat and milk production has an outweighed impact on destroying the environment. You need far more land to grow crops to feed livestock and keeping cows leads to a lot of nitrogen deposition.

We can reduce land use and have food security if people were not so intend on eating/drinking animal products every day (and there are perfectly fine vegetarian alternatives).

That's really hilarious: Poland imports it's pork from Denmark.

(ASF and almost no piglets breeding)

If we end up going hungry (or food prices spiking), then this policy might be adjusted.

It's not like this will happen overnight anyways.
