Possible Impacts of Farm to Fork Strategy on the Crop Structure in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

European Union’s Farm to Fork Strategy sets the target for year 2030 to reduce nutrient losses to the environment from organic and mineral fertilizers by at least 50% and to reduce the fertilizers use by 20%, while ensuring no deterioration in soil fertility. The goal of nitrogen reduction cannot be achieved only by mere reduction of usage of nitrogen as certain minimal level of fertilization must be maintained. Therefore, the structure of the plants would change. The aim of the paper is to examine how would the structure of the crops in the Czech Republic change if the target of reduction of the fertilizers (in our case nitrogen) use is met. The model of crop structure at the level of the whole Czech agriculture was created and three scenarios were simulated.The most nitrogen-demanding is rapeseed and wheat. Even if the whole rapeseed was replaced by soybeans as a nitrogen-fixing plant (baseline scenario), the decrease of nitrogen use would be only 26.4%. In the first scenario, we assumed that 300 000 hectares of rapeseed is allocated to soybeans (reduction of rapeseed production to 1/4). Then the nitrogen use decreased by 12.6%. Second scenario assumed that rapeseed is substituted by other plants equally and the decrease of nitrogen was only 8.6%. Therefore, change of plant structure cannot be the only way how to achieve the goal of 20% reduction of fertilizer use.
