EU has paid farmers to leave fields uncultivated, a policy known as 'set-aside'.
Bringing a fallow field back into productive use is a managed process, especially for land that has been out of production for several years.
While short-term set-aside land can be returned to production with a bit of extra weed control, long-abandoned fields require a significant investment of time, fuel, and inputs to become fully productive again.
cutting off main energy supplier and and cutting down on food production are just a few genius moves the EU leadership is making that are sure to pay off in the near future
