On 26–29 October 2026, Dr. Aistė Galnaitytė, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Economics and Rural Development of the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences, presented the results of the research conducted together with the colleagues Dr. Virginia Namiotko, Rūta Savickienė, and Aldona Stalgienė at the 2nd Global Cleaner Production Conference (GCPC 2026), held in Sitges, Spain.
The conference brought together researchers from 85 countries worldwide to discuss the growing environmental impact of human activities, challenges posed by industrial practices and consumption patterns, and the importance of cleaner production in achieving sustainable development goals. Particular attention was given to reducing negative environmental impacts, improving resource efficiency, promoting innovation, and applying circular economy principles across various economic sectors.
The Institute's researchers shared insights into the development potential of organic dairy farming in their presentation “Do Organic Dairy Farms Operate Efficiently? Evidence from Selected EU Countries”. The research analysed and assessed the impact of organic farming on the economic performance of dairy farms, taking into account the role of organic dairy farming in preserving permanent grasslands and pastures, protecting biodiversity, reducing soil erosion, and enhancing carbon sequestration.
