Abstract: Agricultural nutrients are a possible pollutant of (ground)water bodies.For prevention and control purposes, the European Nitrate Directive (91/676/EC) was issued, which was implemented in The Netherlands by means of the Mineral Accounting System (MINAS). MINAS tracks nutrient flows on farms and taxes farmers with high nutrient surpluses. The taxes are such, that MINAS can pose a threat to the financial viability of individual farms. In order to prevent taxation, farmers will have to alter nutrient management on their farm in an economically sound manner.To assess the (financial) feasibility of the MINAS-surplus standards a project called 'Farm Data in Practice' (Project Praktijkcijfers in Dutch) was initiated by the Dutch government in co-operation with farm organisations. The research presented in this thesis describes an empirical analysis of the relationship between farm and farmer characteristics, the way nutrients are managed on the farm, and the financial consequences, based
