Objective 1
To improve the methodologies available to national inventory compilers to estimate the direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock production systems, with a particular emphasis on manure management and grassland management.
Objective 2
To assist inventory compilers in estimating and documenting the impact of mitigation measures relevant to livestock production systems on the emissions reported within national inventories.
Objective 3
To provide improved algorithms and emission factors for use in farm-scale GHG decision support systems (DSSs).
Objective 4
To develop an open-access prototype farm-scale GHG DSS.
Objective 5
To improve methods to assess the costs and savings associated with mitigation measures at the farm and national scales.
