BookletHow 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. -
Book (stand-alone)Options for low emission development in the Bangladesh dairy sector 2017
Also available in:
No results found.This publication is intended to contribute to the implementation of the livestock and climate change development agenda. The study evaluates the potential for improving productivity while reducing enteric methane emission intensity from dairy production systems in Bangladesh. The overall objective of this study is to support Bangladesh in identifying low-cost strategies to reduce enteric CH4 emissions while contributing to Bangladesh’s short-and long-term social and economic development and incr easing resilience to climate change. -
Book (stand-alone)Options for low emission development in the Uganda dairy sector
Reducing enteric methane for food security and livelihoods
2019Also 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.
