TOPSHOT - A farmer emits hay from his tractor onto Belgian riot police officers as gas rises from tear gas canisters during a protest called by the farmers' organizations "Federation Unie de Groupements d'Eleveurs et d'Agriculteurs" (FUGEA), Boerenforum and MAP, in response to the European Agriculture Council, in Brussels, on February 26, 2024. Farmers across Europe have been protesting for weeks over what they say are excessively restrictive environmental rules, competition from cheap imports from outside the European Union and low incomes.
