We have the top agri/bio university in the world here too which I assume is a massive plus and an area which is basically Silicon Valley for agri/bio tech (where I live).
It's clickbait, that's why they don't put 'the Netherlands' in the headline. It's better to edit a headline when submitting an otherwise interesting story to HN than to perpetuate this sort of marketing-speak.
Those same large agri companies are working behind the scenes to stir up the farmer protests, hiding behind likable small family farmers. See some recent TV commercials to positively frame farmers' image. But many of those farmers are not a small family business anymore, they are very profitable businesses and the owners want to continue making those profits, increasing emissions which are already too high for our very small country.

My wife is a small business owner and it is rough as hell. Directing shit at the farmers who actually managed to be successful and grow their operations seems really stupid.
