Kort om projektet
Transition to fossil-independent dairy farming is a significant strategy to make milk production more environmentally sustainable and reduce negative climate impacts.
This interdisciplinary project investigates strategies for adoption of fossil-independent production approaches in Swedish dairy farming, their climate and economic impacts, and drivers and barriers to transition from the perspectives of dairy farmers and consumers.
Specifically, we will:
- develop technical scenarios for transition to fossil-independent dairy farming and assess the climate impacts;
- assess the economic viability of these technical scenarios;
- investigate dairy farmers’ attitudes and choices, and willingness to transition, and;
- assess consumers’ attitudes and willingness to pay for dairy products from fossil-independent production systems.
