3. EGF WG: "Green effects of dairy farming"
Date: Sunday 29 August
Place: Campus Kiel University, hall K in the Audimax. Christian-Albrechts-Platz 2, 24118 Kiel
Program:
The pre-conference workshop is an initiative of the EGF working group "Dairy farming Systems and Environment", the EGF working group "Grassland resowing and arable rotations", the INTERREG IVa project "Ressource efficiency of milk production" (2010-2013) and the INTERREG NWE project "DAIRYMAN" (2009-2013).
The working groups and DAIRYMAN focus on environmental effects of dairying (field level and farm level). The objective of the workshop is to present and discuss:
- methodology to quantify environmental effects: to improve the quality of the work of scientist
- measured or calculated result: to provide society with information
- effects of altered management: to improve the quality of the work of farmers
Speakers are asked to send the power point presentation and a word-file with additional information, for a better understanding of the sheets, to sjaak.conijn@wur.nl or frans.aarts@wur.nl. They will make hand outs, available at the start of the workshop. Presentations and main aspects of the discussions will be brought together into one report and sent to the participants.

We will make this information available for the participants at the start of the workshop.
