1 GLOBAL AGENDA OF ACTION IN SUPPORT OF SUSTAINABLE LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT CONSULTATION ON FOCUS AREA NUMBER 1: CLOSING THE EFFICIENCY GAP IN NATURAL RESOURCE USE 2-4 April, FAO HQ-Rome, Italy Environmental efficiencies & sustainable animal productions Ph LECOMTE D. Berre, T Hiep, E Tillard, J Vayssieres, M Vigne

2 Stakes, Postulates, Challenges More food production, less producing impact Efficiency vs Efficacy a major shift efficacy : maximising goals without really specifying the means. efficiency : being effective in making efficient use of resources - natural, human, informational, material, financial, etc.: ecoefficiency, sustainable efficiency Performance diversities Large Diversity of systems // landscapes Comparative "value(s)«of ecoefficiency very diverse Inside LFS / landscapes a large diversity of efficiency exist How to exploit diversity and progress

10 Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) : non-parametric frontier model Adressing diversity of efficiencies OUTPUTS (milk, meat, GHG, nitrogen ) Production frontier Efficient firm Inefficient firm Classical «efficacy» logic Projection on the frontier Projection direction INPUTS (land, labor, forage, feeds ) Efficiency of firms assessed by mathematical formulation of a production technology characterized by inputs and outputs Allows integration of undesirable outputs (GHG, Nitrogen excess, ) Directional distance function characterize path of inefficiency reduction

11 Good outputs Directions in inefficiency reduction Efficiency can be considered / different projection direction on the frontier Good outputs Bad outputs Inputs level fixed Bad outputs Farmer s view : optimize milk production, Society s view : reduce pollution Bad outputs level fixed Good outputs Inputs Dairy coop. view : increase inputs to reach the optimal amount of good production

12 Dataset for Data Envelopment Analysis 4 inputs, 1 good output and 2 undesirable outputs are considered : Input (x) / Output (y) Units Mean Standard deviation Min Max y Milk production (MP) : Tons of milk y g b1 Nitrogen surplus (NS) : Kg of nitrogen b2 Greenhouse gases (GHG) : y Tons of gas (eq.

If inefficiency reduction only focus on pollution reduction, GHG and nitrogen surpluses can be reduced by 22.79% and % respectively Farmers can increase their milk production by %, given their current inputs and pollution levels

14 Kg eq. CO 2 /L Compared GHG levels Observed level Optimal level optimal level with reallocation FAO (region min) PLANETE (mini) PLANETE (maxi) PLANETE(mean) Collective Farmers Society Efficiency improvement allow a significant reduction of GHG, below the mean value in France With resources reallocation, GHG level is even more reduced, and may become lower than minimal emission rate identified by the FAO

15 Exploring beyond the frontiers the domain of possible efficiencies whole-farm dynamic model Promising approach to measure potential inefficiency reduction in different context by generating large datasets and identifying the optimal amount of production (and pollution) for given levels of inputs
