- 2020: Data collection on pilot farms horticulture and dairy

(WP1) Indonesia :

(WP1) Indonesia :
2019-2021: 2 PhD and 2 MSc research projects focussed on monitoring and evaluating ecological, economic and social sustainability of SHF in Lembang. Supervision by WUR and IPB.
PhD1: 'Sustainable Intensification of small-holder dairy farming by improving feeding and nutrition:
- evaluate effects of improved feeding management strategies on economic, ecological, and social sustainability of dairy production systems in Lembang, West-Java.
- identify barriers, incentives and extension methods that lead to adoption of improved practices at a wider scale.
PhD2: 'Sustainable Intensification of small-holder dairy farming by improving manure management':
- evaluate effects of improved manure management strategies on economic, ecological, and social sustainability of dairy production systems in Lembang, West-Java.
- identify barriers, incentives and extension methods that lead to adoption of improved practices at a wider scale.
(8 scientific papers expected from PhD projects after 2020 - not entered in MARLO yet)

(WP1) Indonesia :
- PhD research (bilateral budget LPDP): field experiment on fertilizer effects of cattle manure in Napier grass. (completed in 2019)
China (WP2):
- Test LED options through implementation on pilot farms and demo farms. The numbers of pilot farms and demo farms (in different regions) are still part of the planning process. Farms will be assessed using the total farm approach assessment tool and based on that the choose the mitigation options to be implemented on their farms. Results wil be monitored: GHG emissions, farm productivity, costs and revenues and benefits to youth and women. Much attention is paid to connect large dairy processors who are supplied by large numbers of dairy farms.

(WP1) Indonesia:
- 2020: Online National closure meeting with stakeholders in (prov/nat) governments, private sector, knowledge institutes, NGO's.
(WP2) China:
- Training and education activities (training courses, farmer field days/demonstrations for CN dairy farmers and extension
workers/agencies)
- Host stakeholder engagement activities at provincial and national level, including workshops/seminars and high level meetings.
- Policy recommendations for national and regional authorities
- Host regional SEA workshop (with all WP's)
(WP3) Indonesia:
- 2021: (if Covid19 allows: Training of farmer group leaders), dissemination of practice guidelines (brochures), policy recommendations

Indonesia (WP1):
- None (activities ended in 2019)
China (WP2):
- (WP2) Assess feasibility of upscaling trhough evaluation of the results achieved on the demo farms and the assessment of mitigation options for different Chinese regions and farming systems.

(WP 2 China) Development of tools that can be used to: (1) demonstrate farm performance indicators including environmental impact (data processing software) and (2) execute farm assessment to provide recommendations about mitigation options to dairy farmers (consultancy approach including use of available tools)
