Result 2: the more integrated farms are more often more environmentally-friend...but we can observe a large variability

In the following figure, we can see than 3 types of farming systems contribute more than the average to farms having the lower environmental impacts (e+ and E+):

  • SGF (specialized dairy farms with grasslands),

  • SIF (dairy farms with cash crops and middle quantity of home-grown feed),

  • FIF (dairy farms with cash crops and high quantity of home-grown feed)
