| Tiivistelmä: | The research examines trade-offs between cost and production practices of intensification of milk production in highland Costs Rica. The authors identify bottlenecks to intensification and how they affect choices between more and less sustainable practices. To this end, they constructed a linear programming model of a highland diary farm to simulate farmer decision making. Six models for three farm sizes are constructed from data collected via a 1990 survey and published material on nutritional requirements and forage yields. |
