Being frankly, support local farmers is important, specially with all the uncertainties of climate changes. I also think that governments should help and incentivize criation of alternatives, just increasing the diesel price would not make a farmer use a hoe instead. For me this kind of solution is just government not helping at all but putting the weight in a specific groups.

I'm all in against lobby and things like that but we need strong governments leading the energy transformation, not the private sector, specially weak markets like farming can't do this alone, only large landowners.
