In the period after the year 2005, the consumption of nitrogen from mineral fertilizers is on average slightly below the target value for 2020 (28,000 t N/year). In the period up to year 2012, nitrogen consumption declined, after which it increased again in 2014 and 2015, and again declined in 2016 and 2017. Increasing consumption in 2014 and 2015 is attributed to extremely favorable harvests and thus the increased needs of agricultural plants per nitrogen.

Land area in the measure Organic farming is growing faster than planned in OP GHG. The target value for 2020 is 44,000 ha. It should be emphasized that the objectives of the 2014-2020 Rural Development Program are more ambitious (55,000 ha) and that it would also make sense to correct the objectives of the OP GHG.
