“…First-world consumers are increasingly concerned with the environmental impact of their lifestyles (Fraj and Martinez 2006;Young et al 2010). An important determinant of the carbon footprint of dairy products is how much total enteric methane is associated with each kilogram of milk produced (TEMI; g CH 4 /kg milk).…”

Abstract. This review examines research aimed at reducing enteric methane emissions from the Australian dairy industry. Calorimeter measurements of 220 forage-fed cows indicate an average methane yield of 21.1 g methane (CH 4 )/kg dry matter intake. Adoption of this empirical methane yield, rather than the equation currently used in the Australian greenhouse gas inventory, would reduce the methane emissions attributed to the Australian dairy industry by~10%. Research also indicates that dietary lipid supplements and feeding high amounts of wheat substantially reduce methane emissions. It is estimated that, in 1980, the Australian dairy industry produced~185 000 t of enteric methane and total enteric methane intensity was 33.6 g CH 4 /kg milk. In 2010, the estimated production of enteric methane was 182 000 t, but total enteric methane intensity had declined~40% to 19.9 g CH 4 /kg milk. This remarkable decline in methane intensity and the resultant improvement in the carbon footprint of Australian milk production was mainly achieved by increased per-cow milk yield, brought about by the on-farm adoption of research findings related to the feeding and breeding of dairy cows. Options currently available to further reduce the carbon footprint of Australian milk production include the feeding of lipid-rich supplements such as cottonseed, brewers grains, cold-pressed canola, hominy meal and grape marc, as well as feeding of higher rates of wheat. Future technologies for further reducing methane emissions include genetic selection of cows for improved feed conversion to milk or low methane intensity, vaccines to reduce ruminal methanogens and chemical inhibitors of methanogenesis.

“…For example, the price of premium organic products in China was extremely high so that there were many consumers who were unable to afford it without ruling out other family essential needs (ThØgersen et al 2014). Young et al (2010), Wang (2007), Chen (2009), Sriwaranun et al (2015 and Xie et al(2015) agreed with Idaman et al(2012) by stating that price became the most important attribute so that it became the main obstacle for consumers in buying organic products.…”

Government's support for Go Organic program provides a significant effect on the increasing organic land from only 71 thousand hectares in 2010 to 113 thousand hectares in 2014. This is caused by the shifting lifestyle of consumers who are more concerned about health. Rice as one of carbohydrate sources consumed by Indonesian people has an organic variant which is favored by many consumers. This study involved 100 households which were intentionally selected based on their convenience and readiness to be interviewed. This research was also conducted to analyze the comparison of consumer's attitudes on organic and nonorganic rice and to analyze consumer's willingness to pay (WTP) for organic rice. Fishbein and Contingent Valuation Method were used as an analytical tool to find out the consumers' attitudes and the maximum values that they are willing to pay. Consumers of non-organic rice had a more positive attitude on non-organic rice compared to organic rice with a WTP value of Rp 20,000 and the potential opportunity value that can be projected for organic rice in Bogor City is IDR291,788,621,400 per month.
