Summary
The MELS project builds on the DATAMAN project of the Global Research Alliance. In MELS, additional data on emissions from manure management as well as activity data and supplementary data are collected. The data will be used to establish functional relationships between emissions and activity/additional variables that will allow refinement of national inventories and better assessment of the cost-effectiveness of a range of mitigation measures. MELS will evaluate existing farm decision support systems for greenhouse gas emissions from animal production systems, including grazing ruminants, and recommend improvements.
