Global Farmer Protests: The Rise of 'Greenlash' and Bureaucratic Revolt

Farmers around the world have been staging protests, citing climate change policies, red tape, and crop prices as the driving forces behind their crisis. Grievances vary by country, but the common message is that farmers can no longer bear the burden of economic and climate policies. The protests have led to political responses, with leaders scrapping plans and postponing deadlines, but some stakeholders believe this is to prevent farmers from aligning with far-right groups. Experts emphasize the need for governments to support farmers in transitioning to environmental regulations and address the costs of climate change and environmental damage.
