The CCB's report on the study ?The analisis of the impact of agri-environmental measures on water pollution by biogens? has been released. The goal of the study is to determine the impact of implementation of agri-environmental measures and organic methods in agriculture by farmers on changes in nutrient?s concentrations in Słupia and Warężanka Rivers.

In this study were consider following programs: Package 1.Sustainable farming, Package 2. Organic farming, Package 8. Soil andwater protection, and payments for agri-environmental-climate measures(RDP 2007?2013 and 2014?2020): Package 1.Sustainable agriculture, Package 2. Protection of soils and waters, andpayments for ecological farming (RDP 2014?2020).

The results of the studies of the Słupia and Warężanka Rivers showedthat the waters are not threatened by the eutrophication. The conditionof the rivers was described as good and very good in terms of nutrientcontent. Within 10 years, slight changes in concentrations ofbiogenic compounds have been observed. Therefore, it is difficult todetermine the impact of subsidies for farmers under RDP 2007?2013 andRDP 2014?2020 on the content of nutrients in waters. However,
it can be stated that despite the growing intensification ofagriculture, the condition of the waters did not deteriorate, soagri-environmental programs could partly contribute to this.

SHORT ABOUT THE PROJECT

Project Industrial animal farms in the Baltic Sea Region - sustainable practices to reduce nutrient loads is a part of a long-term campaign of the Coalition Clean Baltic and Green Federation "GAJA", aiming to reduce the negative impact of large-scale animal production on the environment and local communities in the Baltic Sea Region, particularly by reducing nutrient run-off into the sea. The project is part-financed by the European Union. This website reflects only the view of the Coalition Clean Baltic.
