"Uit de shit" by Thomas Oudman provides the clearest explanation I've encountered of the current crisis in the Netherlands surrounding farming and the 'nitrogen crisis'.

Oudman, a biologist and journalist, elucidates the complex processes that have led to this situation in clear and accessible terms. He also offers well-argued solutions for a better future for both the country and the environment.

However, Oudman emphasizes that change is challenging when debates are driven by emotions rather than scientific understanding. His book is a compelling call to recognize the importance of science in addressing and resolving the crisis.
