1 Climate smart agriculture Kees van Zelderen; LTO Nederland Portfolio holder Climate and Sustainable Energy

2 Climate & energy in the agricultural sector LTO Nederland: members (Dutch farmers agriculture and horticulture) LTO recognizes the climate issue and wants to lead the way in solving the climate problem Unique position farmers: Affected by climate change Emit greenhousegasses Can capture CO2 in agricultural soils and landscape elements (carbon sequestration)

3 Climate change is also visible in our sector

4 Paris agreement COP21

5 Greenhouse gases for agriculture and horticulture 1. Carbon dioxide (CO ) Fosile fuels 2. Methane (CH4) Cow fermentation and manure storage,28 times stronger than CO (GWP) 3. Laughing gas (N2O) Soil and fertilization + manure storage (GWP 298) CO = CO equivalenten

6 Climate and agriculture, what is it about? 6

7 14 %national greenhousegas emissions from agriculture

8 Appointments in the Netherlands Agroconvenant schoon & zuinig ( ) agreements about approach climate and sustanable energy Goal: 20% CO 2 reduction in 2020 t.o.v Ambition: 30% CO 2 reductie in 2020 t.o.v Realised in 2014: 27% reduction t.o.v Realised by livestockfarmens and livestockchain in 2014: 40% reduction t.o.v (data RVO en Blonk)

9 Reduction greenhouse gasses with the Agroconvenant Clean and mean ( )

10 Effort EU for Paris

11 LULUCF Land based Cropland management (CM) Grassland management (GM) veenweide Bossen Ontbossing en bebossing (AF en DF) Bestaande bossen (FM) en harvested wood products Biomassa: instantaneous oxidation tenzij Emissies Reporting Accounting 11

12 Onderscheid ESR - LULUCF

13 Effort Sharing Regulation (= voorstel EU Commissie)

14 National coalition agreement

15 Coalition agreement Rutte III Climate is seriously on the agenda!! There will be (new) national Energy and Climate Agreements and a climate law An additional statement of 3.5 Mton CO2 eq for agriculture and horticulture 1Mton for greenhouse horticulture 1 Mton methane reduction (mainly dairy cattle farming) 1,5 Mton smarter lande use (peat soil emissions, landrotation, etc.)

16 Limitations to development opportunities

17 Challenges and opportunities Challenges Reduction methane and laughing gas Developing business with climate and energy measures Peat soils Cross overs with other sectors Oppertunities Carbon capture (soil sequestration) & production sustainable energy Production with a lower carbon footprint (total chain)

18 Productie: breakdown emissies 18

19 Carbon / climate tool on farm level/ CO2-toolbox improve knowledge How to act to reduce the emissions Knowing exactly where your company stands and what effect measures have taken Carbon Footprint

20 Farmers voice good examples Soil carbon project -> carbonfarming ( koolstofboeren) Energyproduction ( roofsolar, windpower, CHP-plants, local energycooperations) Sustainable dairy chain ( duurzame zuivelketen) Greenhouses as energy source

21

22 Very low CO2 footprint / kg milk Food production in the Netherlands has a very low carbon footprint

23 Farmers voice

24 Oppertunities Soil, carbon capture Manure handling Energysaving and sustainable energyproduction sustainable (dairy) chain, footprint Peat-soils, watermanagement to reduce peat oxidation Local circularity / local energy cooperation Integral approach

26 Klimaatverandering Waar kunnen we de verbindingen leggen?

27 Terugdringen van broeikasgassen

28 Produceren van groene energie

29 Binden van CO2 in de bodem

30 How to get started? Integral approach Farmers have a solution Goede eenduidige lobby richting overheid/beleid Focus on knowledge and awareness with farmers Instruments; CO2 toolbox, pilots, demostration projects. chain-oriented approach with agri business partners

31 What do we need CAP (common agriculture policy) stimulating integral sustainable measures Stimulating energy and climate measures on farmlevel Market incentives ( low footprint) support market and society
