Pieter "Piet" Adema (born 6 November 1964) is a Dutch politician. Since 3 October 2022,he has been Minister of Agriculture,Nature and Food Quality on behalf of the Christian Union (CU) in the fourth Rutte cabinet. [1]
Following the collapse of the fourth Rutte cabinet in July 2023,Adema continued serving as demissionary minister. He sent a plan to the House of Representatives in April 2024 to tackle a manure surplus that would likely result from the Netherlands losing its exemption in 2026 from a limit in the European Union's (EU) Nitrates Directive on the spreading of nitrogen from manure on farmland. Adema's proposal included a buyout program and would lead to a decrease in the livestock population. The PVV,VVD,NSC,and BBB –representing a majority in the House –called on the minister to hold off the plans due to the ongoing cabinet formation. [2] [3]
