Newsletters Clean Yard, Clean Water October 2021

Agriculture and clean water are inseparable. Many farmers are already working hard to achieve cleaner water. This is happening in projects such as Schoon erf (Clean Farmyard), Schoon water voor akkerbouw en melkveehouderij (Clean Water for Arable Farming and Dairy Farming) in the Groningen part of the Noorderzijlvest water board.

Two newsletters were published by DAW Northern Netherlands in October:
