The European Commission found that the sector is responsible for 77% of the total load of nitrogen into the environment. In line with the Nitrates Directive, set up to combat excess nitrogen from agriculture, Member States have to monitor the quality of the waters and to identify areas that drain into polluted waters or which are at risk of pollution.<\/p>\n<p>The dairy production sector is responsible for a large share of environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions, groundwater pollution, and excessive freshwater and marine nutrient pollution from the poor handling of urine, manure and fertilizers. This latter problem is exacerbated with low river levels due to climate change such as has been seen in northern Italy. And, across western Europe, some 25% of the nitrogen in animal excretion is lost to the atmosphere and can impact human health.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2015, when the EU\u2019s dairy quota was abolished, it has been common for farmers to intensify their production. Some countries, such as Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands, started to produce more dairy products for export, which has led to overproduction. Milk production, estimated to be around 155 million tonnes per year, represents a significant proportion of the value of EU agricultural output and has a formidable lobby<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waternewseurope.com\/intensive-dairy-agriculture-major-polluter-europes-surface-waters\/\">Water News Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-423\/\">Intensive dairy agriculture major polluter of Europe\u2019s surface waters<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2002,1194,575,6355],"class_list":["post-118084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-agriculture","tag-dairy","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-water-pollution"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118084\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
