Sustainable Use of Nitrogen (SUN)

Start date: Dec 31, 2009, End date: Jun 29, 2013,

Agriculture was, and still is, the main component of the rural landscape: in Europe, agriculture, together with forests, takes up about 3/4 of the territory. In this sense, it plays a major role in the maintenance or improvement of the quality of the environment. Since the implementation of the Nitrates Directive (91/676) in 1991, the water quality has not significantly improved. In the cross-bord ...
