Abstract

Collaborative agreements for manure management would enable intensive and specialized livestock farms to expand the agricultural area available for manure distribution by transporting manure to arable farms, thus increasing nitrogen and carbon recycling, reducing environmental pollution and decreasing farms' dependence on external inputs. The economic and environmental viability of such collaborative arrangements depends on the balance between the manure transport costs and emissions (and thus the distances between farms) and the saving in mineral fertiliser purchase costs and production emissions.
