Regulation of animal production
The problem of eutrophication is strongly related to manure, produced in confined animal production systems. In 1999, a conference was organized in Germany, entitled: 'Regulation of animal production in Europe'.
Topics during the conference were:
Animal Welfare; Water and Soil Pollution Control; Quality Management Systems; Air Pollution Control; Farm Planning
The proceedings (ca. 380 pages, in English) were published. Information on this publication (table of contents, ordering) can be found in: animal.


Agriculture and phosphorus management, The Chesapeake Bay
In April 1998, the Chesapeake Bay Program’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) held a Conference to examine issues related to agricultural phosphorus (P) and water quality with the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Invited papers and posters given at the Conference are collected in a book along with the views of several Bay farmers, key Bay resource users, and recommendations from the Conference workgroups.
