All policy interventions per theme including description and related component

Tables per theme

Access to drinking water (Water) (1)

Template:IntroTableTemplate Sanitation measures Increase the access to improved sanitation, and connection to sewage systems; institution of wastewater treatment installations; recycling of human waste for substitution of synthetic fertilisers. Nutrients

Agricultural land use (Land use) (9)

Template:IntroTableTemplate Implementation of biofuel targets Policies to enhance the use of biofuels, especially in the transport sector. In the Agricultural economy component only 'first generation' crops are taken into account. The policy is implemented as a budget-neutral policy from government perspective, e.g. a subsidy is implemented to achieve a certain share of biofuels in fuel production and an end-user tax is applied to counterfinance the implemented subsidy. Agricultural economy Agricultural trade policies Changes in agricultural trade policies are applied to the corresponding quota (export or import quota) or border taxes. Agricultural economy Reduction of waste/losses Reduction of losses in the agro-food chain and waste after consumption. Agricultural economy Changes in consumption and diet preferences Interventions that target consumption changes or changes in dietary preferences Agricultural economy Change in grazing intensity Change in grazing intensity, usually more intensive. This would require better management of grasslands, including for example the use of grass-clover mixtures and fertilisers, bringing the length of the grazing season in tune with the period of grass production, and rotations. Land-use allocation Enlarge protected areas Increase in areas with protected status, as well the size of the areas as the numer of parks. Land-use allocation Implementation of land use planning Application of zoning laws or cadastres, assigning areas to certain land uses. Land-use allocation Increased livestock productivity A change in production characteristics, such as milk production per animal, carcass weight and off-take rates, which will also have an impact on the feed conversion ratio; in general, this will be lower in more productive animals Livestock systems Improvement of feed conversion Improvement of feed conversion ratio of small ruminants, such as sheep and goats. This means other breeds will be used that need less grass to produce the same amount of meat. Livestock systems

Air quality (Air pollution) (1)

Template:IntroTableTemplate Energy tax or subsidiy Changing the prices through energy tax or subsidy for the various energy carriers influences the choice of technology and thus the level of emissions. Energy supply

Animal husbandry (Food) (5)

Template:IntroTableTemplate Changes in consumption and diet preferences Interventions that target consumption changes or changes in dietary preferences Agricultural economy Change in grazing intensity Change in grazing intensity, usually more intensive. This would require better management of grasslands, including for example the use of grass-clover mixtures and fertilisers, bringing the length of the grazing season in tune with the period of grass production, and rotations. Land-use allocation Improvement of feed conversion Improvement of feed conversion ratio of small ruminants, such as sheep and goats. This means other breeds will be used that need less grass to produce the same amount of meat. Livestock systems Intensification/extensification of livestock systems A change in the distribution of the production over pastoral and mixed systems; usually to a larger share of the production in mixed systems, which inherently changes the overall feed conversion ratios of ruminants. Livestock systems Increased livestock productivity A change in production characteristics, such as milk production per animal, carcass weight and off-take rates, which will also have an impact on the feed conversion ratio; in general, this will be lower in more productive animals Livestock systems
