New EU Rules on Farm Emissions Now in Effect

On Sunday, July 4th, a revised set of rules from the European Union concerning industrial emissions took effect, significantly broadening the scope to include more livestock farms than previous regulations.

The updated directive, known as IED 2.0, targets "the most polluting pig and poultry farms," according to the European Commission. These farms contribute to roughly 30% of the EU's total ammonia emissions.
