“…However, studies have shown that transport has a minor impact compared to the other processes related to GHGs emissions from excreta (Hanserud et al, 2017). It has been estimated that even relocating the animal production near to the crop production would not result in a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (Willeghems et al, 2016). The value of compensation of synthetic nutrients could be different in different scenarios, as it is based on different assumptions (Hanserud et al, 2017).…”

Adequate and balanced crop nutritionwith nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) is vital for sustainable crop production. Inadequate and imbalanced crop nutrition contributes to the crop yield gapsa difference in actual and potential crop yield. Yield gap is one of the many causes of insufficient food production, thus aggravating hunger and malnourishment across the globe. On the other hand, an oversupply of nutrients is highly unsustainable, in terms of both resource conservation and global environmental health. A decreasing excreta recycling in crop production is one of the many reasons for nutrient imbalances in agriculture. Previous studies show that increasing agricultural specialization leads to spatial separation of crop and animal production. Increasing distance between excreta production and crop needs is one of the leading factors that cause reduced excreta recycling. Studies focusing on excreta recycling show that a substantial barrier to a more efficient excreta nutrient reuse is the expensive transportation of bulky volumes of excreta over long distances. In order to overcome that barrier, more detailed spatial estimates of distances between excreta production and crop nutrient needs, and the associated costs for complete excreta transport in an entire country are needed. Hence, the overall aim of this thesis was to quantify the amount of nutrients in the excreta resources compared to the crop nutrient needs at multiple scales (global, national, subnational, and local), and to analyze the need for excreta transports, total distances and costs, to meet the crop nutrient needs in a country.

Samenvatting NL: Dit onderzoek inventariseert kansrijke methaanemissie reducerende technische maatregelen in de Nederlandse veehouderij (rundvee en varkenshouderij) op het gebied van fokkerij, rantsoensamenstelling en kwaliteit van voer, gebruik van inhibitors, mest van de vloeren en uit mestkelders frequent verwijderen, middelen aan mest toevoegen, mest mixen/beluchten, mest koelen, mestvergisting en methaanoxidatie. Op basis van literatuuronderzoek en expertconsultatie is er een kwalitatief toetsingskader ontwikkeld en toegepast om verschillende duurzaamheids en ethische aspecten van deze maatregelen te evalueren vanuit het perspectief van verschillende stakeholders.Summary UK: This research makes an inventory of technical measures which are able to reduce the methane emissions of the Dutch livestock production systems (i.e. cattle and pig farming): breeding, composition and quality of feed, use of inhibitors, frequent manure removal from barns, manure additives, manure mixing and aeration, manure cooling, anaerobic digestion, methane oxidation.Through a literature study and expert consultation a qualitative assessment framework has been developed and applied to evaluate different sustainability and ethical aspects of these measures. This has been conducted from the perspective of different stakeholders.Dit rapport is gratis te downloaden op https://doi.org/10.18174/494713 of op www.wur.nl/livestock-research (onder Wageningen Livestock Research publicaties).
