In agriculture there are many possible ways of reducing environmental pollution cause by plant and livestock production. In some parts farming can achieve the reduction of pollution without impairing income. Higher demands for environmental protection however, often lead to higher costs. Therefore it has to be discussed how far every individual farm has to carry those costs. By the introduction of the "fertilizer regulation" farms are asked to make a higher contribution to the protection of natural resources without benefit. Improvements of environmental techniques, which could make it possible for the farmer to make intensive contribution to environmental protection, would be useful from a macro-economical point of view but in present conditions they are not economically effective for individual farms.
