With a population of over 17 million and an area of 41,543 km², the Netherlands has a high population density of 504 per km². About 18% of its surface area consists of water, and a significant portion of the land and population is located below sea level. The country is protected from water through a system of dikes and waterworks. Polders have been created through land reclamation. The landscape of the Netherlands is flat almost everywhere. The Dutch landscape mainly consists of cultural landscapes and managed nature reserves. Over the centuries, not only has the natural environment changed, but due to the shrinking and fragmentation of habitats and environmental pollution, both the quality and quantity of nature have deteriorated. Efforts are being made through nature policy and private initiatives to reverse this trend.
Through diversification in agriculture, entrepreneurs must also try to generate income from non-agricultural activities. These include agricultural nature and water management, agro-tourism, and care farms.
