In its Biodiversity Strategy to 2030, the European Commission has set the goal of reducing
nutrient losses to the environment by at least 50%. This will be achieved by implementing the
current EU legislation on nutrient and by a new holistic action plan (INMAP) for sustainable
nutrient management.
The EU has several ambitious policies dealing with reduction of nutrient emissions to the
environment (air, soil, water) and nutrient management and recycling in waste. The INMAP will
take stock of these, and harmonize actions to fulfil their objectives.
