Family farm Prins Family farm with: • 5 partners • Milk from 300 cows • Biogas energy • Consultancy Mission: Stimulating the production of food and services according to the needs and wants of society and ourself
Green House Gasses • Not ‘living’ by farmers ! • Its invisible and for discussion!? • What are consequences of “Copenhagen” ? • Who can give me the right definition of GHG? • What is measured • Different studies, different results • Dairy (- sector) 2 - 4% of all GHG?(FAO – 3 % IFCN - 2%)
Our Problem LCA per litre of milk is more then 1kg GHG
Reduction GHG on farm level: • Housing systems. • Feed measures. • Co-operating with arable farmers. • Handling manure. (see next slides) • Replacing artificial fertilizers.- Saves to >50 % N and P - 1 kg N = 15 m3 natural gas
Dairy’s best option ? • Anaerobic Digesters • Reduce GHG in NA by 0.5 to 1% • AD cut our dairy emissions by 50% (along with other management practices) • Create millions kW renewable energy
Study Global Dairy Research (ordered by GDF) • No speaking but calculations. • Good definition for measuring. • Inventory of international used methods. • Member farms of GDF. Different farms in different regions • Looking for new innovations via GDF Congress 2010
