Dutch Firm Information Network
75 year old
Reason why Agricultural Economics Research Institute (LEI) was founded
Started for calculation of cost of production as input for price setting
Data is assembled by employees of LEI and intensively used by researchers
Since 1980’s large environmental problems in Dutch agriculture
Research projects around policy setting/evaluation
Need for data

Why collecting environmental data on
Dutch FADN farms
•Enables integrated policies analysis
• Link with economic indicators and farm management
•Shows diversity of performance:
• Enables analysing differences in performance
• Targeted policies (no “one size fits all”)
• Enables identifying options for improvements
• Averages give limited information (thresholds)
•Practical advantages:
• Better quality, more efficient
• Lower administrative burden
• More interest from farmers

Sustainability report for farmers
Feedback report with development over years:
Make discussion of sustainability more specific
Increases understanding of sustainability performance
Benchmark report with comparison of sustainability performance with a group of similar farms
Makes differences explicit
Helps to discuss and find ways to improve sustainability performance

sustainable farms with the average farm

Monitoring/evaluation Manure policy
EU Nitrate directive: max 170 kg N per ha
Netherlands: Much higher grass production
Derogation:
● 250 kg N per ha if more than 70% grassland +
● Intensive monitoring obligation (550 farms of which 170 extra farms)
● Technical institute measures water quality on farms
Intensively used to monitor effects manure policy and find successful strategies on farm level
Partly financed by farmers with derogation
● Derogation saves them tens of millions

Sustainable Dairy Chain: Monitoring sustainability
for the Dutch dairy chain
Developments in dairy sector
towards 2020... ...with sustainability challenges
Quota abolition in 2015
Increase of milk production in the
Netherlands
Increasing scale of production
size will double up to ~140 dairy cows
Increasing milk production per cow
average milk production per cow will
increase
Increasing ghg emissions
Possible negative effect on animal welfare
Reduced grazing
Increased use of antibiotics
Increased use of soy
Increased production of manure Increased emission of ammonia

FP7 project FLINT (farm level indicators for
new topics in policy evaluation)
Objective
To establish a tested data infrastructure with up to date farm level indicators for the monitoring and evaluation of CAP and to contribute to a better targeting of CAP and other related policy measures
Key contributions:
Demonstrate the feasibility of collecting policy-relevant data in different administrative environments
Demonstrate how the new farm level indicators can be used to evaluate policies and improve the targeting of policy initiatives
