A group learning E-VSM approach for improved environmental, economic and social performance of small suckler cow beef farms in Sweden

Sammanfattning

This paper reports on the evaluation of a new advisory concept applied on small suckler cow beef farms in Sweden, where group-based learning was combined with an environmental value stream mapping (E-VSM) approach including environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainability. The E-VSM was carried out by presenting the farmers to blended learning comprising on-line material and assignments in combination with group workshops and meetings on the farms. By the end of the project, farmers were satisfied with the advisory concept and experienced that the E-VSM helped them to identify wasteful activities and implement continuous process improvements.
