PhD Project: Lifetime net GHG emissions and contribution to the food system from dairy cows fed best practice diets
This project aims to investigate lifetime emissions of GHG from high-producing dairy cows fed diets based on feeds that are associated with low negative environmental impact. From the outputs and inputs of the production, the net food production, the carbon flows and the environmental impact will be calculated. The project is part of the SustAininal research Centre.

About Markos
I am from Chios, an island located in the northern Aegean region of Greece. I am a licensed veterinarian and I acquired my Veterinary Medicine degree from Aristotle’s University of Thessaloniki (Greece). I completed the Animal Science master program at SLU and currently, I am a PhD student in the Department of Animal Nutrition and Management. Sustainability assessment is a complex issue that requires a multidisciplinary approach that will include aspects such as greenhouse gas emission, net food output and competitiveness. I like that as a SustAinimal PhD student I have the opportunity to learn more on these topics. I am happy to be part of a project that aims to investigate the role of livestock and to contribute to the development of a sustainable food system.
