They want to add subsidies to offset skyrocketing costs of production, climate change restrictions on land/input usage, and the ability of imported/industrial agriculture to undercut the prices that unionised smallholder farmers have to charge. It's an anti-globalisation/anti-free trade/pro-union protest more than anything. Like India they're one of those countries where there's an epidemic of farmer suicides because of how much debt they're forced to go into just to do a job they can't make a living off of.
