How much would implementing these innovative measures cost the Dutch agricultural sector, and what are the potential barriers to achieving widespread adoption?

The study analyzed 62 innovative measures, finding substantial effectiveness, especially in dairy farming. While theoretical reductions of 61-72 percent in ammonia and methane are possible, a practical reduction of 41-50 percent in ammonia emissions is deemed achievable through innovations in stables, manure storage, and soil application. This requires significant investment, estimated at up to ¸ million euros annually for stable innovations alone.
