Synopsis (short abstract) This study evaluates the potential for improving milk production while reducing enteric methane emission intensity from dairy production in Sri Lanka. The overall objective of this study is to support Sri Lanka in identifying low-cost strategies to reduce enteric CH4 emissions while contributing to the countries’ short- to long-term social and economic development and increasing resilience to climate change.

    Given the importance of the dairy sector to rural livelihoods and its potential role in poverty reduction, this study evaluates the potential for improving milk production while reducing enteric methane (CH4) emission intensity from dairy production in Uganda. The study reveals that that there are significant opportunities for growth on a low carbon path for the dairy sector and that economically viable opportunities exist (in varying degree and circumstances) in all the seven dairy production systems; however, the greatest opportunities for immediate mitigation and productivity increases at scale lie in traditional dairy systems.
