WWF: Reduction of Dutch dairy herd needed

The Dutch dairy herd must be reduced by 40% in order to meet the climate target, laid-out in the Paris Agreement. This is stated by Natasja Oerlemans, agricultural expert at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in the English newspaper The Guardian. The expansion and intensification of the dairy sector, seen in the recent decades, has been at the expense of nature and the environment.
