Nothing could touch the local population more deeply.<\/p>\n<p>Chris de Stoop, himself a farmer\u2019s son from the area, returns to his parents\u2019 farm, which is suddenly unoccupied. While running the farm, he looks at the changed landscape around him. He is the kind of person who can go into raptures over a comely cow, or wax lyrical about a freshly ploughed field. He looks back at the farming life that made the land what it has been for a thousand years.<\/p>\n<p>The disappearance of the farmer is a Europe-wide phenomenon, but nowhere is it as distressing as it is here. De Stoop watches the bulldozers advance, demolishing centuries-old farmhouses to create \u2018new nature\u2019 as compensation for the expansion of industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rights sold Fischer (Germany) Shanghai &#8217;99 (China) Read our sample translation of\u00a0This is My Farm &nbsp; About the book The Hedwige Polder, the most famous stretch of reclaimed land in the Belgian lowlands, is to be flooded again no matter what.
