New Mixed Farming 3.2.4 • In a nutshell • • • • The examples above do not meet the criterion of combination of different sectors, as required according the definition of De Wilt et al. (2000). They are restricted to the agricultural sector; To solve the excessive amounts of manure or wastes produced at the farm, the Government and/or the primary sector take the initiative; Manure processing to biogas at very large scale breeding farms in China has not yet proved to be economically sound. The Government provides one third of the initial investment. Without being able to trade the outputs of the biogas plant at real market prices, the plant is not economically attractive; The scale of the Dutch New Mixed Farming is small compared to the scale of the Chinese breeding farms. In this case also the Government provides funds to further develop the complex and to make the complex profitable; The focus is on the 'planet' aspect of sustainability and by doing so, it is expected to result in important savings in costs for energy, raw materials and waste processing.
