Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to model the manure management policy implemented in the European Union, and more specifically the limit imposed on the spreading of organic nitrogen. A theoretical model is defined in such a way that a number of specificities concerning livestock production can be introduced.The theoretical framework is used to investigate how the land can be shared out optimally between the non-productive purpose of spreading manure in a manner compliant with the environmental regulation and the productive function of providing crops.Then,we define an empirical model derived from the previous theoretical model, using the directional distance function.It provides a framework for deriving shadow prices of pollutant, of productive and non productive use of land and of the constraint on organic manure involved by the European environmental regulation.
