The Netherlands’ agriculture sector is responsible for 87% of the country’s ammonia gas emissions, primarily due to livestock farming. In 2021, 529,000 hectares of the Netherlands’ total 4.2 million hectares (including water bodies) were dedicated to agriculture. The nation’s limited land area necessitates efficient agricultural practices, prompting significant consideration of environmental protection, particularly concerning nitrogen emissions from livestock farming.
