The Netherlands exports an enormous amount of meat currently. It’s the largest exporter of meat of any EU country. They export 60% of the meat they produce. So yeah, they would be fine.
The Netherlands is currently really suffering from nitrogen pollution, in a big part because of the meat industry. So it would also be a great improvement for the environment to reduce the meat production.
Having such a big part of the European meat production localized in one of the most populated regions in the EU is just a recipe for disaster.
So less food, more people? Have you heard the term “famine” before?
Livestock are incredibly inefficient at producing food. If you use a small fraction of the land to grow crops there will be plenty to eat.

Not up to the news of lab-grown meat.
“Less food”? What are you talking about? Most of the land used for livestock is exported. Also, meat is an incredibly unsustainable source of food.
