Article Synopsis
- The dairy industry faces challenges due to excessive resource use and waste, prompting a study on eco-efficiency in milk production using data envelopment analysis within the water-energy-labor-food nexus.
- The research, which analyzed national statistics from 2014-2021, found that while milk production increased by 30% and production costs rose by 23%, improvements in eco-efficiency were achieved due to better resource management.
- The study revealed a shift in resource use from water and labor to energy, suggesting that advancements in production technology and clean energy on farms could significantly enhance eco-efficiency in the dairy sector.
