I don't know what farmers are up against in all countries. There are certainly lots of things wrong in the overall markets for agricultural goods. However, in The Netherlands it basically seems that they protest for a right to pollute. Nature gets destroyed by to much nitrogen in the soil, to much polluted water. Bad water levels to support farmers, etc. Too much use of pesticides and herbicides that end up everywhere. You can call it left to fight against pollution. In that case, I'm happy to be left. There is an underlying problem where farmers have to work on large scale because margins are to thin. But then rhetoric starts. For example, consumers are blamed for not wanting to pay more for produce. But conveniently left out is what about goods that get exported. You can hardly blame Dutch consumers for not paying more for goods that get exported out of The Netherlands.
