Constructing grassed waterways for the reduction of soil loss

The construction of grassed waterways for the reduction of soil loss on arable land is one of the new features of the voluntary Austrian Programme for sustainable agriculture.

A successful implementation can only be reached when the potential layout is tailored to the customers (farmers) needs. 

On the photo you can see the TUdi team discussing advantages and potential drawbacks of different positions and practical implementation with a group of stakeholders (farmers, agricultural chamber, policy makers) in the fields of Upper Austria.
