Modelling of Greenhouse Gases
Modelling of greenhouse gases - production of six factsheets
Anticipated deliverables for dairy farmers
The factsheets aim to break down climate change and greenhouse gases and identify the key management and practical measures that farmers can take to reduce the environmental impact of dairy farming.
The factsheets build on research and development previously carried out by DairyCo, and complement a series of case studies demonstrating what some dairy farmers have already achieved to reduce their GHG and ammonia emissions on-farm.
The factsheets and case studies can be downloaded from the DairyCo library, or ordered via our publications line on 02476 478695.
