Eutrophication

Leaching of nutrients from agricultural and industrial animal farms are a major source of eutrophication in the Baltic Sea. Baltic Sea 2020 carries out research and measures to reduced leakage from agriculture. In addition BalticSea2020 has initiated a 10-year program to develop methods and technologies for optimal handling of large amounts of manure. The goal is to eventually construct a demonstration plant that shows a cycle that benefits everyone involved - the residents around the Baltic Sea, the farmers and our environment.
