AI model simulates fertilizer adoption for dairy farm decarbonization

Researchers have developed an agent-based modeling framework to simulate the adoption of low-emission fertilizers on Irish dairy farms. The model incorporates social contagion, farm characteristics, and policy interventions to predict decarbonization trajectories. It estimates greenhouse gas emissions and cost trade-offs, showing strong agreement with observed adoption patterns and predicting a saturation level of approximately 91%. AI

IMPACT Provides a novel simulation tool for evaluating climate mitigation strategies in agriculture.
