A multiple criteria decision making approach to manure management systems in the Netherlands
We assess trade-offs between socio-economic and environmental impact of manure management. Gross margin, land-use-change, GHG emission and ammonia emissions are examined. We apply compromise programming to select best compromise manure management solutions. Highest gross margin is achieved at the expense of other environmental criteria. Decision makers in manure management have different and conflicting interests.
