Abstract:

  • Environmental impacts from production of cow's milk and oat drink were compared.
  • The need for grazing pasture and the need for beef and protein were included.
  • The climate impact can be reduced by producing oat drink instead of cow's milk.
  • Biogas was produced on spare land, making the farm energy self‐sufficient.
