Feeding efficiency gains can increase the greenhouse gas mitigation potential of the Tanzanian dairy sector
Abstract We use an attributional life cycle assessment (LCA) and simulation modelling to assess the effect of improved feeding practices and increased yields of feed crops on milk productivity and GHG emissions from the dairy sector of Tanzania’s southern highlands region. We calculated direct non-C...
