The complete insane thing from the Netherlands is is that almost 25% of the drilled up gas beneath Groningen, and is causing earthquakes on a regular basis, is actually used to create fertiliser from. As far as I understand that is done because the yield from synthetic fertiliser is higher than from animal dung so unless I’m missing something we’re actually trying to get rid of a lot of the dung by exporting it as well. Though I’m not entirely sure what happens with all the excess dung. I believe most of the organic dung is not yielding enough to be economically feasible and thus gets exported.
