Summary
This paper develops a conceptual framework to help policymakers understand the structural and institutional barriers preventing widespread adoption of greenhouse gas mitigation measures in livestock agriculture. Rather than focusing on technical solutions alone, the authors examine policy, economic, and organisational factors that shape farmers' capacity and willingness to implement climate-mitigation practices. The framework is intended to inform more effective policy design that addresses real-world implementation challenges.
Regional applicability
The paper is authored by researchers affiliated with United Kingdom institutions and addresses European and UK livestock policy contexts. The framework and identified barriers are likely directly applicable to UK farming policy and regulatory design, though some findings may transfer to other developed agricultural economies with similar policy structures.
Key measures
Identified policy barriers, institutional factors, and implementation constraints for GHG mitigation adoption in livestock systems
Outcomes reported
The study presents a conceptual framework identifying barriers and enablers to implementing greenhouse gas mitigation measures in livestock agriculture. It addresses policy-level challenges that constrain adoption of climate-mitigation practices by farmers.
