2. Project concept
Increased productivity
generates less Funds support
emissions per unit of
Measuring reductions farmers’ efforts to
milk decrease emissions
in emissions and
•Feeding for milk yield meeting a buyer’s through productivity
•Feed additives for emission needs gains
reduction
•Site selection •Providing credit for input
•Waste management procurement
•Herd management. •Developing methodology
•Funding for extension
Including: milker •Baseline studies officers
replacement and •Verifying emissions
retirement, genetics, and •Advertising to buyers
animal health
After pilot project completion, assess
viability for other sites

•S2: Tanykina
•S3: Olenguruone
•S4: Kabiyet and Siongiroi
