Working Group “Blue”. Promotion of Low-INput Danube Agriculture in the Mura River Basin (LINDA)

摘要

Agriculture is one of the major sources of pollution of the surface water and groundwater of the Danube River Basin. Lying at the intersection of three countries – Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia, together with its transboundary groundwater body, the Mura River Basin represents a challenging pilot area with extensive agriculture. This project aims to reduce agricultural water pollution in the Mura River Basin by introducing low-input sustainable agriculture. The project will: (a) consolidate expert knowledge on low-input sustainable agricultural practices suitable for the Mura River Basin; (b) develop guidelines on the promotion of low-input agricultural practices and (c) promote their adoption by the legislatures of the three participating countries.
