Sustainable Livestock Farming Under the Green Label Scheme

Sustainable farming practices under the Dutch Green Label Scheme (GLB) focus on using solid manure, optimizing nutrient balance, and improving soil health. The GLB pilot engages farmers and stakeholders to shape post-2022 policies, emphasizing climate, biodiversity, and environmental goals. A nationwide consultation collected input from 1,723 farmers via surveys and 500 at regional meetings, supported by digital outreach. Sector-specific tools and regional adaptation are key for implementation.
