In this study, an overview is presented of agricultural policies on
manure and minerals, relating to the Nitrate Directive to remedy
excessive surface- and groundwater contamination from intensive
agricultural practices. Six countries belonging to the European
Union were studied: the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, France,
Germany and the United Kingdom. The policies and their legal
incorporation were related to agricultural and environmental
conditions in each country. In addition, an inventory was made of
agricultural mineral poli cies in the United States and Canada.
Conditions for livestock farming in North America differ
considerably from those in Europe, but their solutions shed a
different light on European policies. Research has shown that there
are still very considerable mineral surpluses in many countries and
regions. In both the Netherlands and in the Flemish part of
Belgium, existing problems due to very high levels of manure
production are structural rather than local and cannot easily be
solved by transport of manure to other regions. To a lesser extent.
Germany, Denmark and relatively small parts of France (Brittany)
and the United Kingdom, still exceed the norms for an equilibrium
fertilization. In Denmark, existing problems can probably be solved
within the existing legislative framework. The Netherlands,
Flanders. several German Lander (Nordrhein-Westfalen and
Schleswig-Holstein) and Brittany."
