Abstract

Reducing the GHG emissions intensity of milk production has become a key sustainability challenge for the dairy sector. Addressing this challenge requires thorough understanding of the current GHG emission levels of individual farms, the practices influencing GHG emissions, and the economic trade-offs associated with reducing those emissions.
