    Same thing in the Netherlands. There’s a common misconception that farmers are poor small landowners, who care for nature and the natural landscape.

    Those are long gone or incredibly rare. What’s left is large landowners from (quasi-)aristocratic families or large corporations, hoarding their wealth and land. Often they hire foreign workers to do the actual work, treating them badly in the process. And pollution. So much pollution.
