Options for low emission development in the Uganda dairy sector: reducing enteric methane for food security and livelihoods
Given the importance of the dairy sector to rural livelihoods and its potential role in poverty reduction, this study evaluates the potential for improving milk production while reducing enteric methane (CH4) emission intensity from dairy production in Uganda. The study reveals that that there are significant opportunities for growth on a low carbon path for the dairy sector and that economically viable opportunities exist (in varying degree and circumstances) in all the seven dairy production systems; however, the greatest opportunities for immediate mitigation and productivity increases at scale lie in traditional dairy systems.
