Farmers on frontline as Dutch divided by war on nitrogen pollution
Government's buyout scheme is meeting fierce resistance from farmers in Netherlands.
Veal farmer Wim Brouwer is one of the Netherlands' peak polluters, due to the nitrogen excreted each year by his 1,360 calves.
His business sits in one of the most intensively farmed parts of Europe's most intensively farmed country, a huge exporter with more than 110 million livestock, including cattle, chickens and pigs.
Nitrogen compound emissions are a big matter in this small, packed country, becoming the dominant political issue over the course of a four-year crisis. Among other impacts, the crisis has hampered crucial housebuilding, because builders need nitrogen permits from a limited supply to cover construction emissions. The crisis has polarised social opinion, spurring the rise of a new rural populist movement and mobilising environmentalists who are desperately concerned about the state of wild habitats.
Brouwer says his farm is carbon neutral, but he fears being a peak polluter means credit lines drying up. As chairman of the local LTO farmers' union branch, he feels strongly for others. "Every 14 days, a farmer in the Netherlands brings an end to their life. If a healthy career lasts for 40 years, we’ve spent 10% of ours living in uncertainty."
A series of supreme court rulings in cases brought by environmentalists have brought the Netherlands to a standstill over pollution. Nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from transport, and ammonia from farming, are negatively affecting EU-protected nature reserves, in breach of EU law.

Farmers on frontline as Dutch divided by war on nitrogen pollution
Government's buyout scheme is meeting fierce resistance from farmers in Netherlands.
Veal farmer Wim Brouwer is one of the Netherlands' peak polluters, due to the nitrogen excreted each year by his 1,360 calves.
His business sits in one of the most intensively farmed parts of Europe's most intensively farmed country, a huge exporter with more than 110 million livestock, including cattle, chickens and pigs.
Nitrogen compound emissions are a big matter in this small, packed country, becoming the dominant political issue over the course of a four-year crisis. Among other impacts, the crisis has hampered crucial housebuilding, because builders need nitrogen permits from a limited supply to cover construction emissions. The crisis has polarised social opinion, spurring the rise of a new rural populist movement and mobilising environmentalists who are desperately concerned about the state of wild habitats.
Brouwer says his farm is carbon neutral, but he fears being a peak polluter means credit lines drying up. As chairman of the local LTO farmers' union branch, he feels strongly for others. "Every 14 days, a farmer in the Netherlands brings an end to their life. If a healthy career lasts for 40 years, we’ve spent 10% of ours living in uncertainty."

'We have travelled for a month to find grass': climate crisis piles pressure on Senegal’s herders.
Young pastoralists are proud of the tradition they have inherited. But drought, farming and conflict all endanger their lifestyle - and their lives.
Pastoralism in Senegal and the wider Sahel region has changed drastically over recent decades. As well as changing landscapes caused by the climate crisis, herders have been forced to change their routes as more land is used for agriculture.
Migrating herders have longstanding relationships with farmers to whom they sell their products, but competition for land can create tension, with farmers accusing herders of damaging crops.

Fans, sprinklers and cold baths for cows: India's dairy farmers face searing heat
Milk and cheese output from world's largest producer faces catastrophic decline unless more heat stress resistant cattle are bred.
Kailas Ramasamy gently guides his cows into a hangar-sized shed, tethers them to their posts, lays out their fodder and cleans the floor. Then, as he steps out, he flips a switch: ceiling fans begin to blow air on the cattle.
Ramasamy's dairy farm is an hour outside southern India's Bengaluru city. Usually known for its moderate weather, the region has witnessed a sharp rise in temperature compared with earlier decades. Elsewhere in India, temperatures have reached 50C (122F) this year.
That is bad news for India's dairy industry, with heat stress leading to reduced appetite, lower weight gain and decreased fertility in cattle.
The Holstein cowsat a larger farm in Chikka Thirupathi on the outskirts of Bangalore, India on 14th June 2022 are more prone to climate change. Extreme heat makes them produce less milk. The shed has fans and sprinklers which brings down the temperature of the shed by 3 degrees. The cows are also given a bath with cold water to keep cool. Increased Heat stress in dairy livestock can reduce feed intake, milk production and livestock fertility. Photographer: Samyukta Lakshmi/ Guardian

Milk and cheese output from world's largest producer faces catastrophic decline unless more heat stress resistant cattle are bred.
Kailas Ramasamy gently guides his cows into a hangar-sized shed, tethers them to their posts, lays out their fodder and cleans the floor. Then, as he steps out, he flips a switch: ceiling fans begin to blow air on the cattle.
Ramasamy's dairy farm is an hour outside southern India's Bengaluru city. Usually known for its moderate weather, the region has witnessed a sharp rise in temperature compared with earlier decades. Elsewhere in India, temperatures have reached 50C (122F) this year.
That is bad news for India's dairy industry, with heat stress leading to reduced appetite, lower weight gain and decreased fertility in cattle.
Kailash Ramaswami gives the cows water at Vrindavan dairy farms in Chikka Thirupathi on the outskirts of Bangalore on 14th June 2022. The farms mainly has gyr cows which are sturdier and more resilient to climate change than the Holstein cows. Milk production of these cows is not affected as much as the Holstein cows due to rising temperature. Water helps them deal with heat stress better. Increased Heat stress in dairy livestock can reduce feed intake, milk production and livestock fertility. Photographer: Samyukta Lakshmi/ Guardian

Can woolgrowers ride an activewear boom out of the industry’s pandemic bust?
As locked-down white-collar workers swapped office wear for tracksuits, wool prices took a tumble.
Drought, fires and, more recently, floods: these are the things wool producers fear.
But that’s just “living on the land”, according to New South Wales merino producer Anthea Sutherland.
What she and husband John were not prepared for was the sudden drop in demand for their farm’s wool when the pandemic prompted people to swap suits for tracksuits while working from home.
Pooginook a Merino and Poll Stud near Coleambally in the Riverina area of South West NSW.
