Short summary
Swedish farmers face increasing societal expectations to contribute to climate change mitigation and need to find economically viable ways to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
This project studies the practices of designing and using tools and practices to set targets, plan and follow up on GHG emission reduction in tandem with economic planning in Swedish dairy farms. Through action research and mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, with farmers and advisors we plan to:
- Identify knowledge gaps and best practices on farm-level GHG emission reduction planning tools and targets
- Design targets and/or planning tools for farm-level GHG emission reduction;
- Analyse management control practices that help farmers steer towards these targets alongside economic considerations during operational and strategic decisions;
- Explore how advisory services can address potential knowledge gaps and farmers needs of tools to reach climate and economic objectives.
