    How does the Dairy Modernization and Market Access (DiMMA) programme in Georgia contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and food security? 2024
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The Dairy Modernization and Market Access (DiMMA) programme in Georgia aims to improve the productivity of smallholder dairy farming systems through better nutrition and feeding, veterinary care leading to better animal health, and breed improvements. In addition, it aims to strengthen the resilience of farmers to cope with the adverse effects of climate change via improved pasture management practices, capacity development measures, and facilitating stakeholder engagement and policy dialogues. The aim of this study is to report the impact of DiMMA programme on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for both total emissions and emissions intensity (i.e. emissions produced per unit of product), food security (shown in protein production) and resource use (shown in feed intake) for two scenarios: without project (WOP) representing the case without any improvements to herd, feed and manure parameters; and with project (WP) representing the situation with project improvements on herd structure, feeding and manure management over the project timeline. The scenarios with which the impact of WP were evaluated cover a combination of interventions including improved breeding via artificial insemination (AI), improved feeding and nutrition via pasture improvement, training and value chain improvements, and improved manure management via trainings and value chain improvements.

    Options for low emission development in the Uganda dairy sector
    Reducing enteric methane for food security and livelihoods
    2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    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.

    Improving efficiency of small ruminants production for reduction of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity – GCP/SEC/014/TUR
    FAO-Turkey Partnership Programme on Food and Agriculture (FTPP II)
    2021
    Also available in:

    This flyer provides information about the project titled "Improving efficiency of small ruminants production for reduction of the GHG emission intensity". Covering Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, the project aims for increasing capacities to analyse and improve the efficiency of small ruminants production systems in each participating country and the Central Asian subregion as a whole.
