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.

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.

‘People want to be green’: the rise of Devon eco-bedmaker Naturalmat
Recently B Corp certified, Naturalmat is the first bed and mattress firm to achieve the ethical status in the UK.
Having started off as a teeny cottage company making mattresses for boats, Naturalmat is now the first B Corp certified bed and mattress company in the UK with five showrooms around the country.
Natural fibres are more expensive and harder to cut, but they have many advantages over synthetic fibres. The fundamental difference is that natural fibre is self ventilating. It wicks away heat and moisture. You lose up a litre of water per person per night. Meanwhile synthetics absorb heat and absorb moisture, so retaining all those elements next to your body.
Devon-based Naturalmat to be awarded B Corp status, making them the first British bed and mattress company to achieve certification in the UK.
According to the National Bed Federation, more than seven million mattresses were thrown away in 2017, with most going straight to landfill. However, Devon-based Naturalmat believes that a mattress is for life.
Founded over 20 years ago, sustainability has been at the heart of Naturalmat from the very beginning, with founder Mark Tremlett pioneering the production of completely natural, organic and sustainable mattresses - making them the first British manufacturers in the interiors industry to use natural & organic materials, as standard, across all aspects of production. From certified organic wool and coconut fibre to natural latex, Naturalmat is rigorous in handpicking only the most sustainable materials from suppliers they trust, setting a new standard for the sleep industry. Furthermore, when a customer buys a Naturalmat mattress, they access their unique three mattress end-of-life options - meaning they can either refurbish, recycle or donate their mattress, therefore closing the loop when it comes to waste within the mattress industry while ensuring healthy sleep for all.
