This study aims to answer the question if and how biofuels can be produced in Mexico without aggravating water scarcity, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and avoiding indirect land-use changes. We analyzed environmental impacts of six potential maize-bioethanol production systems in Mexico on water resources, land use, and GHG emissions by u...

Die aktuellen ökologischen Herausforderungen – insbesondere Klimawandel, Verlust von biologischer Vielfalt, Gesundheitsschäden durch Umweltgifte und die Verknappung der Süßwasserreserven – stellen Probleme höchster Dringlichkeit dar, wie die Organisation für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (OECD) 2012 zum wiederholten Male mahnte. Do...

Ziel des hier beschriebenen Vorhabens war es, eine regionalisierte Strategie für einen nachhaltigen Ausbau / eine nachhaltige Stabilisierung der Holzenergienutzung unter Berücksichtigung der Holzkaskadennutzung zu formulieren und zu begründen. Diese Strategie sollte dabei neben dem Leitbild einer nachhaltigen Holzenergienutzung v.a. konkrete Handlu...

The application of the previously published detailed model describing dairy cow husbandry in the German agricultural emission model requires an extended and improved data base. This concerns animal weights, weight gains, regional feed regimes, feeding requirements and feed properties as well as a revision of ammonia emission factors for animal hous...

Within the organic dairy farming sector in Germany, traditional mixed farms with relatively low yearly milk yields of around 6000kg per cow exist beside highly specialised grassland based farms with more than 9000kg milk yield per cow and year. Specialisation and intensification are discussed critically within the organic sector as negative environ...

Production and business data from organic dairy farms in three German regions are being retrieved in a survey extending over several years. The farms are classified according to site conditions and feeding intensity, the latter being defined as the amount of concentrate use. In a parallel part of the project environmental impacts of the different p...

Organic dairy farms with different feeding intensity and production structure differ significantly in their environmental impacts; low input organic farms achieve a higher product quality and animal welfare and cause less environmental risk for sensitive ecosystems and water quality due to lower nitrogen emissions. Intensive organic farms achieve l...

Differences in environmental impact and economic returns between intensive and low-input organic dairy production are investigated using two simplified model farms with different amounts of concentrates being fed. In four scenarios, ecological and economic effects of restricting the more intensive farm management practice beyond the existing regula...

Ziel des Projekts war die Analyse von Umweltwirkungen und Wirtschaftlichkeit unterschiedlicher Typen von ökologisch wirtschaftenden Milchviehbetrieben in Deutschland. Im Vordergrund standen dabei die Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Fütterungsintensität. Es wurden sechs modellhafte Betriebstypen formuliert, um die Bandbreite der Produktionssysteme in...
