10. Strength and Challenge – Policy and Regulation
China is in the process of establishing regulation for mitigating the Environmental impact of livestock production
Current regulation
The Law of Livestock production : take the measure to control the environmental pollution
Decree of control and management of pollution from livestock production ( SEPA Decree 9-may-2001)
Discharge standards of pollutants from livestock production
Challenge
The regulation on control of pollution from livestock production has being development for 3 years
No nation strategy to Establish a national goal and environmental performance expectation , Promote, support, and provide incentives for the use of GPG
There is no national plan
Technical specification for Monitoring

11. Strength and Challenge – Incentives
Chinese government has taken a number of initiatives to ensure the sustainable agricultural development, these initiatives contribute to mitigating environmental pollution to some extend
Biogas digesters program, By the end of 2006, household biogas digesters had reached 21 million, The number of large-scale biogas digesters for manure treatment had reached about 4000
The standardization of livestock park program, began from 2006
Challenge
There are no National Financing System and Subsidy Policy on manure management
Livestock producer has no ability involving in the market based mechanism such CDM

12. Strength and Challenge – Technology and Model
There are varieties of technologies or models has been demonstrated in China
Biogas digester with ADRs land application model is popular
Separation + Compost and UASB
Separation + AD + fish pond
Challenge
Investment barriers – Initial cost is too high
Technologies barriers – No cost-effective and easy operation system

13. Strength and Challenge – capability ??
Realize the importance of manure management
Challenge
Not easy to assess the available information and technology
No science based decision tool to help the gov. and farmers to identify the appropriate technology or model
Livestock background , without the ability to operate the environment system

14. Framework of Livestock Environmental Administration in China
Ministry of Agriculture (MOA)
Ministry of Environmental Protection (SEPA)
Department of Science, Education and Rural Environment
Department of Animal husbandry
Department of Market and Economy
Livestock envi. Monitoring Center
Clean production
Utilize and Monitoring
Environmental inspection
Environmental Monitoring
Animal Production

15. Strength and Challenge Institutional Arrangements
More than one ministry has the responsibility
Challenge
Existing environmental protection administration and personnel have no experience to manage livestock environmental issues ( like check points issues )
Existing production agency ( MOA) has pay more attention to the Production
The institutional weaknesses at the county level

16. Chapter III - Targets
Support the establishment of Policy and strategy
Facilitate the adoption of improved manure management practices
Scaling up project influence on sustainable development of livestock production

17. Chapter III -Overview principles
Combination of the manure management policy with the National policy on sustainable development
Priority to clean production and pollution prevention
Integrated cost-effective pollution control measures based on local circumstance
Technology demonstration and Promotion of technology innovation
Multiple mechanism - Government subsidy, market mechanism

18. Measure 1: Policy and regulation Instruments
Develop national plan and Location Plans for livestock pollution prevention and control
National plan development by MOA is in progress
Speed Up formulation of the Regulation on Pollution Prevention and Control from Livestock Production
It is on the Version 15
Development of National standard on monitoring and inspection
Code of sampling waste water, Solid manure, as well as gas sampling
Development of COP

19. Measure 2: Incentive measures
Governmental subsidy
Promotion of clean production methods: green feed, bedding for reducing the volume of waste water
Promotion of the construction of manure treatment system: biogas digester, composting, separation
Promotion of CNMP of manure land application: transport and application equipment, storage pond
Manure treatment center for the area with high density of animals
Promotion of standardization of animal production Region for small –scale farms
Market based mechanism
Labeling of environmental sound animal product
Promote and regulate certified organic fertilizer market;
Demonstration of CDM Procedure for MMS.

20. Measure 3 : Information and Education
Provide information on manure management technology through TV, Brochure, Newspaper, website
Educate rural communities in basic pollution prevention and control measures for small-scale livestock production;
Reward outstanding examples of best practices in livestock pollution control, both at large-farms and within rural communities;
Strengthen knowledge on livestock-related pollution for local agricultural agency
Disseminate information on GPG

21. Measure 4 : Demonstration of target technology
Further demonstration and assessment of biogas based treatment system
Nutrient removal and /or utilize efficiency
Financial analysis on initial construction investment, maintenance and running cost, as well as revenues from sale of fertilizer, saving of fertilizer, or fuel purchasing
Organize field trip for farmers to the demonstration sites
Began demonstration of bedding system
Demonstration of standardization of clean production system which integrated the green feed, energy saving building, manure collection, manure treatment, and manure application
Demonstration of CDM project development procedure

22. Measure 5: Research and Development
Exploring new technologies : bottled biogas
Alternative usage of solid manure:
Develop an indicator system for measuring clean production performance at livestock facilities
Development of alternative manure management system , such as centralized manure treatment system for village or town level: indentify appropriate technology, management

23. Measure 6 : Monitoring and Evaluation Systems
Establishment of monitoring and inspection network , regional or provincial level
Establish database and rreporting system for pollution from livestock production operations
Establish national on manure characteristics Establish evaluation system on policy and management of Livestock Production Operations

24. Next step
Policy maker Consultation on the draft strategy before end of this month
Revision of the Drafting strategy
