Summary
The Milkey project has a number of objectives, all of which are aimed at developing holistic system concepts for sustainable and low-emission milk production, focusing on key European regions. These include:
- An analysis of the influencing factors and sustainability aspects of dairy farming systems in Europe;
- Identification of the main priorities for sustainability in key European regions;
- Assessment of the three pillars of sustainability on sample farms across Europe;
- Assessment of interactions between the three pillars of sustainability and emission reduction potentials for key European regions;
- Identification of key greenhouse gas emission reduction techniques for the respective dairy farming systems and regions;
- Development and demonstration of an online monitoring tool for barn climate and emission control;
- Support dairy farmers in improving the three pillars of sustainability of their farms;
- Putting national research results into an international context and making them available to a broad public;
- Initiate long-term inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation between scientists, stakeholders, farmers, agricultural advisors, industry, consumers and policy makers.
