an ecological perspective, in particular if substantial productivity losses can be avoided on farm. In fact,
there is a high potential of co-benefits in terms of other environmental and ethological impacts associated
with some measures. For instance, composting of livestock manure is known to have a positive influence on
soil fertility. Therefore, when ranking the measures against each other, these co-benefits should be considered.
The farm model proved to be a useful tool for assessing farm- and product-specific GHG emissions and
modelling the potential of measures for mitigating greenhouse gases.
