NPC fluxes and energy balance: presentation of the farms
In 9 farms having implemented various technical options related to integration of crops and livestock, we have proceeded to a comparison of the environmental impacts between before the implementation and after this implementation.
These options are :
More crops to decrease concentrate inputs (5 case studies)
Decreasing fertilizer inputs by manure cycling and legume (3 case studies)
Introducing livestock in an organic crop farm (1 case study)
Energy production (biomass, CH4) (3 case studies)
Organizational evolution (milking robot+grazing) (1 case study)
The following file will give you a more detailed description of theses options and precise the places where they have been implemented
