not OP, but how about some technology innovation instead of governance and taxation? the effect of taxing farmers as though they were some kind of vanity industry will be similar to what nationalizing farms has done in prior schemes like this. it creates a national dependency on imported food from countries that do not bankrupt their farmers, and suddenly (shocked!) the entire Danish food supply crosses the borders to arrive and is then subject to federal management. this latter case is of course the purpose, and climate change is merely a pretext. I hope european farmers are able to organize a revolt. | ||

> how about some technology innovation instead of governance and taxation The history of solar, EVs, batteries etc. show these work hand in hand. Why invent a way to capture methane from slurry, or form a business to sell that idea to farmers if they're allowed to pollute for free? | ||

What technological innovation do you think farming could adopt, that it hasn't already...? They don't operate with simple machinery. They regularly use some of the most complicated systems that mankind can build, such as satellite systems, chemical analyses, etc. Governance is needed, where progress does not occur naturally. |
