After 2005, the gross nitrogen budget ranged between 42 and 69 kg per ha of agricultural land with an indistinct decreasing trend. The 2020 target (less than 53 kg N per ha) has been achieved on average over the last 5 years (47.6 kg N per ha). Preliminary estimates indicate that the balance surplus in 2020 will be less than 35 kg N per ha. This means that the 2020 target will be achieved.
