A presentation held on 18th April 2002 in Gent, Belgium at the final Workshop of the EU concerted action Nutrient Management Legislation in European Countries NUMALEC
One important source of nutrient pollution is agriculture. The loss of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus can initiate from point sources such as barns, manure stores and milk rooms, and can relatively easily be taken care of in a suitable manor. Loss of nutrients from the management of fields and crops is diffuse pollution and is much more difficult to curb with effective measures. Loss of nutrients leads to eutrophication of water-courses and the sea, as well as to acidification of land areas and to reductions in biological diversity. To reduce the negative effects of agriculture, legislation and policy have developed in all EU countries. It is not possible to give a full presentation of the policy implementation of nutrient management and the effects in all the EU Countries considered in NUMALEC in this paper, therefore we give examples only of some representative countries with consideration of different circumstances, types and geographic position of countries to demonstrate major differences.
Different approaches in policy
NUMALEC has demonstrated that there are large differences in the policy construction, implementation and also in the effects from the policy regarding nutrient management legis
