CCAFS: Climate Change Agriculture and Food
Security Research Program of CGIAR
1
Key goals:
1. Measurement of GHG emissions
2. Adaptation to climate change
3. Development of low emission practices in agriculture,
a.o.: “Piloting and scaling of low emission development
optinons in large-scale dairy farms in China”

CCAFS project Reduction of GHG emmissions on large scale dairy farms
2
Phase 1
2019
•Carbon footprint calculation model for dairy farms (CAAS)
•Explore GHG mitigation options and feasibility of the options
(CAAS)
Phase 2
2020
•Reduction of GHG on dairy farms through Total Farm Approach
(TFA) consultation (CAU)
•Emission calculation model for dairy farms (CAAS)
Phase 3
2021
•Testing and implementation of TFA on pilot farms (CAU+CAAS)
•Analyse data and disseminate experiences on mitigation (CAAS)
•Roll out of upscaling and implementation on more farms (CAU)
•Policy recommendation on dairy sector (CAAS)
Final results:
1. Tools to calculate GHG and other emissions
2. Farm advisory tools + training material
3. Policy recommendations

Goals of the kick of meeting
3
1. Share the plans and progress on reduction of
greenhouse gases (GHG) from the Chinese dairy sector
2. Feedback on plans and progress
3. International experience exchange of GHG-reduction
strategies and implementation
4. Discuss GHG strategy China dairy sector and the impact
on the sector
