Is lack of finance a barrier for the sustainability of Dutch dairy farms? : An analysis of nitrogen pollution and profit
Melina Lamkowsky
Abstract:Agricultural productivity growth can simultaneously increase profit and reduce pollution. Yet, the impact of productivity growth on both has not been quantified. The objective of our study was to develop an approach to quantify the extent to which agricultural productivity growth can increase profit and reduce pollution. Focusing on nitrogen pollution, we apply the approach to a sample of 341 intensive Dutch dairy farms for the years 2006 to 2017. Using a Bennet-Lowe formulation, we measured economic and nitro… Show more
