Denmark - Infra red camera showing where the water leaks |
Denmark - Grazing guilds ensure easy acces to water for cows and maintenance of habitat |
Denmark - Willows provide reduced N leaching, compliment green energi, and farmers can develop individually |
Denmark - Constructed wetlands reduce nutrient loss from drainage, are cost effective, and farmers can develop individually |
Denmark - Catch crops between two winter cereal crops results in reduced nitrate leaching, more nitrate for next crops |
Denmark - Advisory session on farm scale: Optimizing environment without loss of production |
Denmark - Problem: Excess loading of nutrients |
Delfland - To support and improve communication in Midden-Delfland, visual representations of ecosystem services were developed with the use of input from all stakeholders. |

Delfland - The impact of climate change in Midden-Delfland differs periodically: periods of drought (moistening of polderdikes) alternated by flooding |
Delfland - Open water storage as possible ecosystem service in Midden-Delfland is, with the use of input of farmers, investigated in a social cost-benefit analysis. |
Delfland - Nature friendly banks prevent land erosion and may improve waterquality. Agrarian maintenance of nature friendly banks (ecosystem service) was successful on a practical level and might be upgraded in Midden-Delfland. |

Delfland - Farmers who perform ecosystem services (dredging) also have to deal with the removal of slurry. Feasibility is examined to mix the slurry with cow dung and reed cuttings to use it as soil improver and fertilizer. |

Delfland - Empty waterbuffers need to be maintained (mowing) which can be done by farmers (ecosystem service). |
Delfland - The pilot Midden-Delfland consist mainly of dairy farms |

Delfland - Farmers who perform ecosystem services also have to deal with the removal of biomass (reed cuttings). In Midden-Delfland feasibility is examined to use the cuttings as deep litter, soil improver and fertilizer. |
