Boeren met ruimte voor water, landschap en natuur in Olst-Wezep : een quickscan naar meer mogelijkheden voor boeren om bedrijfsmatig rekening te houden met ruimte voor water(berging), landschap en natuur in het landinrichtingsproject Olst-Wesepe

Reports & Research

De landinrichtingscommissie heeft ALTERRA opdracht gegeven te onderzoeken of er alternatieven zijn voor aankoop: kunnen die doelstellingen ook gerealiseerd worden door aanpassingen in de agrarische bedrijfsvoering voor te stellen, zodat meerboer(en) kunnen blijven, maar ook de beleidsdoelstellingen duurzaam gewaarborgd zijn.
