Twelve farms across New Zealand took part in the Partnership Farm Project, modelling 44 different farm systems.
Listen below:
One of the key findings from the project was that "no one farm is the same," said Mackle.
"There is no one size fits all package every farmer can use - but at the same time farmers can learn from these case studies and compare against their own."
The Owl Farm results are the first of a series that will be launched over the coming weeks.
On Owl farm, one of the modelled farm management changes involved reducing feed use and lowering the stocking rate.
This is expected to result in a 21 per cent increase in profitability alongside a 14 per cent reduction in nitrogen leaching and 13 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
The volume of data from the research showed the complexity of the challenge facing the dairy sector as each farm had different needs.
"This is why DairyNZ is supportive of customised Farm Environment Plans which recognise the differences between each farm and factor in a holistic systems approach to recognise efforts across greenhouse gases, water quality, biodiversity, and financial sustainability," Mackle said in a statement.
As a result, Mackle hoped the Government would support adequate training of rural professionals to provide expert advice to farmers, as part of a low emissions transition plan.
