Dutch farming is incredibly dense, but that's not the same as good.
For example, emission of ammonia, nitrogen, and phosphorus is through the roof, and pesticides aren't far behind. This kind of farming is wreaking havoc on the environment. And that's not even mentioning the massive deforestation due to imported soy, CO2 emissions for fertilizer production, and greenhouse energy use.
This kind of farming is simply not sustainable, and it will need to be scaled down in the near future.
