Continued declining trend in pollution incidents on dairy farms

Activity and Progress:

• The EA’s Spotlight on Business Report 2008 revealed that pollution incidents to water, land and air from agriculture in England and Wales are decreasing, and are at their lowest ever levels. This performance demonstrates the proactive efforts made by dairy producers and advisors to drive environmental change at the farm level and illustrates the work of the Environment Agency and its partners in regulating the industry.
  

Measurement:

• EA Monitoring data: annual ‘Spotlight Report’.
  

Target Status:
