Abstract

Pour évaluer les impacts de l’application d’instruments économiques destinés à réduire les émissions des gaz à effet de serre (GHG) des exploitations laitières, il s’avère nécessaire d’utiliser des indicateurs, étant donné que la mesure directe des émissions est impossible ou très coûteuse. Le choix des indicateurs peut orienter les options de réduction choisies par les fermiers, leurs coûts et les niveaux d’émission de GHG. Pour quantifier ces relations, l’article propose un modèle de programmation mathématique mixte linéaire dynamique capable de représenter différents types d’exploitation laitière et de simuler les impacts de mesures destinées à diminuer les émissions de GHG. Il permet de comparer les coûts marginaux de réduction des émissions entre les différents types d’exploitation et d’indicateurs et de donner des informations permettant de choisir les meilleurs indicateurs ainsi que les stratégies les plus adaptées.
