Abstract: Global dairy production contributes a relatively large share of the total emissions of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to air and water bodies, which are a concern. However, there are large differences among dairy farming systems in performance, and these differences are not well understood. This relates especially to emerging market economies such as China, where dairy production is increasing, and where new dairy farms are relatively large, intensive, and on small areas of farmland.
