Adapting CRISP-DM to model enteric fermentation emission: farm level application
Philippe Belmont Guerrón et al.
What the paper says
Enteric fermentation contributes substantially to greenhouse gas emissions (GGEs) in agriculture, but may be reversible in the short-term. To date, numerous attempts have been made to model the environmental impact of agriculture, but have failed to integrate multiple dimensions of production. The objective of this study is to adapt the cross industry standard process for data mining (CRISP-DM) at farm level, using the concept of life cycle assessment (LCA) and implemented a modified version of the global livestock environmental assessment model (GLEAM). Using local data collected over 20 years and secondary data, our results show that for dairy cattle, the methane emissions factor from cattle is lower among marginal farms 86 Kg CH4 head-1 year-1 compared to semi-intensive and intensive farms across time and geographical regions (107.4 and 113.5 respectively) and demonstrate that this type of application is relevant for developing countries and smallholder agriculture, where production data is often unavailable.
