Promote sustainable agricultural practices

Promote sustainable agricultural practices

Your solution: These include lower stocking density, organic fertilising methods and crop rotations which would both help air quality and the climate by reducing ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions.Improved storage of manure for example; low-emissions housing methods including building techniques and the use of chemical or biological air scrubbers have become compulsory for new stables in Flanders. Improved application of manure as one of the most effective ways of cutting ammonia is by injecting the manure and slurry directly into the soil. In Flanders, since 2007, manure must be incorporated within 2 hours or injected on arable land. As a result, ammonia emissions from manure spreading were cut by 80% since the 1990s."
