- 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 consumption and diet preferences (Interventions that target consumption changes or changes in dietary preferences, Component: Agricultural economy)
