To improve the water quality of our streams and rivers, efforts are being made on many fronts. The agriculture sector has already made many efforts on water quality, including reducing diffuse losses from agricultural plots.
However, further steps can be taken at the level of yard and silos to further improve water quality.
To inform Flemish livestock farmers about measures that can be taken to tackle yard and silo sap,
organises the project BESS (business consultancy heirloom and silo juice) two demo afternoons.
These demo days highlight the structural approach and provide tools that farmers can use in practice.
These demo afternoons are free of charge. For proper organisation, however, we do ask for registration.
In fact, sandwiches will be provided at the start of the demo afternoon.

For the info session "Useful insights: heirloom and silo juice Q&A", government agencies will answer your questions. Questions can already be passed on via the registration form.
The government agencies will therefore have time to prepare all the questions as well as possible to provide you with answers during the info session. You can also write down questions on paper on the spot to be asked by the moderator.
The questions you ask will be passed on anonymously to the agencies.
