European policy makers are entering a phase of high-pressure programs to save the environment and many of the schemes are aimed straight at farmers

British farmers are getting the chance of going back to school. It’s all part of Europe’s current program to save the environment and our climate. The European Union (EU) wants more natural habitats preserved out in the countryside. Most of all, of course, it wants drastic reductions in climate-changing gas emissions.
Farmers are responsible for much of the European countryside, says the EU parliament and agriculture produces a substantial amount of greenhouse gases. So it stands to reason that farmers are also responsible for a considerable amount of global warming, too.
