PL95-GHG IN MEAT PRODUCTION/GHG IN MEAT PRODUCTION
Climate-friendly Polish beef and pork of high-quality
Description
animal production methods that reduce GHG emissions
Sector
A1.5Mixed farming
Needs/ Problem statement
Currently, there is no system or measure in Poland directly aimed at reducing greenhouse gases in animal production. The implementation of the pioneer operation will be a breakthrough in this field resulting in the first such solution in the country. The system will cover about 500 livestock units and about 1,000 ha of arable land, maintained and cultivated with methods preventing climate change.
Objective
(1) development of assumptions, implementation and practical verification of methods of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration in agriculture, (2) development of computer software for selecting reduction methods and estimating their efficiency and cost-effectiveness (climate impact calculator) for the pork and beef production system certification (QAFP, QMP).

Outcomes and final product
widely available catalogue for GHG reduction and carbon sequestration methods in pork and beef production, especially under QMP and QAFP quality systems,
implementation of low-carbon pork and beef production methods (especially QMP and QAFP) in production practice
development of a computer-based climate impact calculator
publication of a scientific monograph on production methods that reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration.

2 - Medium potential - strong potential for carbon sequestration at the feedstock or product level only.
Intended user
The results of the operation will contribute to the dissemination of low-emission methods on farms. The software will be developed to calculate the effects and costs of applying low-emission production methods which, at the same time, will constitute a set of requirements for participating in the system and obtaining a minimum of 20% GHG emission reduction.
