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]
Tenure
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]
