Efficiencies, Productivity, Nutrient Losses and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New Zealand Dairy Farms Identified as High Production, Low Emission Systems

Introduction Dairy farming in New Zealand (NZ) is under increasing scrutiny due to growing environmental concerns. Agriculture as a whole is the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (particularly methane and nitrous oxide), accounting for about 48% of NZ's total emissions in 2007 (Ministry for the Environment, 2010).
