To understand the nitrogen crisis (Nitrogen Oxides and Ammonia) in the Netherlands you have to see the nitrogen dioxide map:

And most of it is from agriculture (landbouw) 46% and abroad (buitenland)

So something has to be done to lessen output of Ammonia and Nitrogen Oxides as they are destroying the local nature ecosystems.
