Maziwa Zaidi (More Milk) in Tanzania―Best-bet technologies and innovations: Greening dairy value chains―Realizing environmental and social benefits of intensification
- 1. Maziwa Zaidi (More Milk) in Tanzania: Best-bet Technologies and Innovations Greening Dairy Value Chains: Realizing Environmental and Social Benefits of Intensification Todd Crane, Renee Bullock, Esther Kihoro, Joel Onyango Key messages and solutions • Dairy intensification practices and productivity improvements overlap substantially with lowering GHG emission intensity • Proper incentives and institutional innovations can improve both uptake of intensification practices and social inclusivity of value chains. • Win-win-win outcomes are possible! Opportunities and benefits • Adoption of inclusive low-emission development will simultaneously help achieve a wide variety of benefits • Dairy productivity • Inclusive rural development • Reducing environmental impacts of dairy • National commitments to reducing GHG emissions intensity Suitability • Achieving inclusive, low-emission development requires commitment by private sector and policy makers • Technologies, institutions and networks need to be addressed in an integrated fashion Evidence • Research findings from Tanzania and Kenya are being used to develop a decision support tool for inclusive low- emission development • We have used research findings to engage with local and national stakeholder platforms in Tanzania and Kenya, with positive feedback • Tradeoffs and hard choices are inevitable when sustainability and inclusivity are taken seriously This document has a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence. October 2019 Problem statement • There is increasing international and national attention on reducing the environmental footprint of dairy production, especially in the form of GHG emissions • Intensification generally reduces GHG emission intensities, but often leads to uneven benefits for producers • How can dairy development simultaneously improve productivity, profitability, inclusivity and environmental footprint?
