Abstract
Land subsidence is a phenomenon that can be found almost everywhere across the north of the Netherlands, resulting in water-related issues for the agricultural sector. Using a combination of primary- and secondary data research, this thesis finds out that these water-related issues are generally wetter grounds and a chance of increased salinization. Furthermore, this thesis describes which approaches or methods are used to deal with the effects of these issues. By considering future prognoses of these problems and the implications that come along with climate change, the resilience of our current methods are assessed. All of this is done as the greater aim and central question of this thesis is: 'How can agriculture and food production in the north of the Netherlands become more resilient to the water-related issues that arise from land subsidence?'
