A manure-arrangement based approach to circularity in the Netherlands - Perspective

Manure is an important element in the transition towards a circular agriculture and society. However, in certain regions of the world with intensive forms of livestock production manure generates some environmental challenges and controversies which might hinder the transition. In this report we deploy a manure-arrangement approach to explore the role of manure in the circularity transition that is currently being organized in the Netherlands. Manure-arrangements are temporary ensembles of actors, practices, things (e.g. technology) and the environment organizing manure matters. In this explor... Mehr ...

Manure is an important element in the transition towards a circular agriculture and society. However, in certain regions of the world with intensive forms of livestock production manure generates some environmental challenges and controversies which might hinder the transition. In this report we deploy a manure-arrangement approach to explore the role of manure in the circularity transition that is currently being organized in the Netherlands. Manure-arrangements are temporary ensembles of actors, practices, things (e.g. technology) and the environment organizing manure matters. In this exploratory research, we summarize key policies regulating Dutch manure. We argue that current policy and other structures hinder, to a certain extent, the space for experimentation and expansion of circular practices. Then, we elaborate on some tensions that emerge by applying the concept of circularity in a growth and globally oriented economy. Finally, from a manure-arrangement perspective, we also address the question regarding human excreta as a missing element in the transition towards more circular livestock and agricultural practices. ; Mest is een belangrijk element in de transitie naar een kringloop landbouw en maatschappij. Er zijn landen en gebieden waar mest echter controversie veroorzaakt vanwege het intensieve karakter van de veehouderij en milieuproblemen. In deze gebieden kan mest een remmend effect op de transitie hebben. In dit rapport wordt een mest-arrangement benadering toegepast om de rol van mest in de transitie in Nederland te bestuderen. Mest-arrangementen zijn tijdelijke ensembles van actoren, praktijken, dingen (bijv. technologie) en het milieu die mest gerelateerde aspecten organiseren. Dit verkennende onderzoek vat het belangrijkste beleid en regelgeving rondom mest in Nederland samen. We stellen dat het huidige beleid en andere structuren, tot op zekere hoogte, de ruimte voor het experimenteren met circulaire praktijken belemmeren. Vervolgens wordt gereflecteerd op de contradicties van de huidige ...
