Project: The work to be conducted by Dalhousie University includes the development of a profile of the Nova Scotia dairy industry, including producer characteristics, farm level attributes, and other associated indicators including perennial forage use. The HOLOS model will be assessed to determine if it can be used to assist in predicting unmitigated GHG emissions from dairy cattle and nitrogen fertilizer use. A future profile of the dairy industry based on past trends, and performance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions will be developed. The project is entering the third and final year.
You will be responsible for data consolidation and analysis, coordinating research team and building a final project report from existing reports and final data analysis.
