STORYLINE:
Hundreds of tractors arrived in Brussels Monday and more are on their way as European Union agriculture ministers meet to address farmers' concerns.

It follows weeks of protests by farmers across the EU.

Farmers are demanding the reversal of some of the most progressive measures in the world to counter climate change and protect biodiversity, arguing that the rules are harming their livelihoods and strangling them with red tape.

And the impact has been stunning.

The farmers' protests, which blocked major roads across Europe, affected the daily lives of people across the 27-nation bloc, costing businesses tens of millions of euros in transportation delays.

The disruption triggered knee jerk reactions from politicians at national and EU level.
