Het platteland wordt omschreven als ‘landelijk gebied’ oftewel het gebied waar dorpen, velden, akkers, weilanden en natuur elkaar afwisselen. Wat het platteland eigen maakt is de biodiversiteit die in verstedelijkte gebieden duidelijk minder aanwezig is. Die biodiversiteit is uiterst belangrijk voor ons milieu, de landbouw en de beleving op het platteland. Onkruiden worden hierin een […]

Mestmatch wants to increase the efficiency with which nutrients from liquid animal manure are applied. Initially, we do this by raising awareness about manure analyses and the importance of a reliable sample result so that the grower knows which nutrients are applied. We also intend to increase the efficiency of the nutrients applied when applying liquid manure.
Dairy farmers will be assigned a PAS reference 2030 under the nitrogen decree. In practice, this reference will apply as a farm-specific NH3 ceiling. An analysis of farm accounting figures in the Liba network shows that there are large differences between farms in the balance achieved per kg NH3. Main objective of this operational group "NH3

At a time when the agricultural sector is facing increasingly complex challenges and the urgent need for sustainability and efficiency, our agricultural cooperative with some 75 dedicated farmers faces a crucial choice: do we stick to traditional farming methods or embrace the potential of precision agriculture? Moreover, linked to this is the question, how can the machinery cooperative

The implementation of the nitrogen decree ensures that huge ammonia emission reductions will have to be realised in the agricultural sector in general and in pig farming in particular. A number of technological (AEA systems) and source-oriented (PAS measures) measures have already been worked out in the past. However, in order to achieve the required emission reductions, there is an urgent
The project aims to take advantage of opportunities arising from the analysis of the Local Development Strategy for the Limburg Kempen, with the objective of conserving and enhancing biodiversity and the ecosystem in an economically viable way for farmers and horticulturists (SD 1 and SD 2). The main objective is to
In recent years, there has already been a particularly strong focus on increasing soil carbon content to improve sponge function and the associated physico-chemical aspect namely the clay-humus complex. When the focus is combined with the biological in addition to the physical and chemical, we speak of regenerative agriculture concepts. Today

The project aims to develop a local biomass recycling system by bringing together green and brown organic material from nature and landscape management to valorise them through farm composting and processing in fields. With this project, we want to focus specifically on the challenge of how to get the right and sufficient material at appropriate times to
Pig farming is facing a period of major climate challenges. Besides the climate objectives from governments and the market, the sector itself is also facing the consequences of climate change. In the VLAIO-LA trajectory KLIMREK, a climate trajectory for the pig sector was worked out -as the last one- that has not yet been sufficiently applied and not at all

Agricultural figures show that maize occupies the largest area of all agricultural crops in Limburg. In addition, especially in the north of our province, a lot of irrigation water goes to this crop during dry periods. Consequently, making maize less sensitive to drought and heat will greatly reduce the demand for water during these periods. As a farmer can
