- Change in grazing intensity (Change in grazing intensity, usually more intensive. This would require better management of grasslands, including for example the use of grass-clover mixtures and fertilisers, bringing the length of the grazing season in tune with the period of grass production, and rotations., Component: Land-use allocation)
- Changes in feed ration (Change in the share of grass in the feed rations of cattle, sheep and goats, usually a decrease, meaning grass will be substituted by feed crops and the livestock system will be more intensive., Component: Livestock systems)
- Enlarge protected areas (Increase in areas with protected status, as well the size of the areas as the numer of parks., Component: Land-use allocation)
- Implementation of land use planning (Application of zoning laws or cadastres, assigning areas to certain land uses., Component: Land-use allocation)
- Improved irrigation efficiency (Improved irrigation efficiency assumes an increase in the irrigation project efficiency and irrigation conveyance efficiency., Component: Water)
- Improved rainwater management (Improved rainwater management assumes a decrease in the evaporative losses from rainfed agriculture and the creation of small scale reservoirs to harvest rainwater during the wet period and use it during a dryer period. Both measures lead to more efficient use of water and increased yields on rainfed fields., Component: Water)
- Improvement of feed conversion (Improvement of feed conversion ratio of small ruminants, such as sheep and goats. This means other breeds will be used that need less grass to produce the same amount of meat., Component: Livestock systems)
- Increased livestock productivity (A change in production characteristics, such as milk production per animal, carcass weight and off-take rates, which will also have an impact on the feed conversion ratio; in general, this will be lower in more productive animals, Component: Livestock systems)
- Increased storage capacity (Increasing storage capacity assumes that the total water volume stored in large reservoirs will increase. This can either be established by an increase of the capacity of existing reservoirs, or by building new reservoirs., Component: Water)
- Intensification or extensification of livestock systems (A change in the distribution of the production over pastoral and mixed systems; usually to a larger share of the production in mixed systems, which inherently changes the overall feed conversion ratios of ruminants., Component: Livestock systems)
- Intensification/extensification of livestock systems (A change in the distribution of the production over pastoral and mixed systems; usually to a larger share of the production in mixed systems, which inherently changes the overall feed conversion ratios of ruminants., Component: Livestock systems)
