The ongoing farm protests in Europe have resulted in a significant policy change. The European Union has dropped plans to cut pesticide use in half and excluded agriculture from a required 90 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. Farmers in France, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Poland and Germany have been protesting the EU Green Deal and the threat of increased competition. Farm groups are also calling for the resignation of the EU agriculture commissioner.
