Description and Links
The "Scale Bovaer" strategy implements an assumption that cattle farmers who are modelled as being open to Bovaer usage (according to the assumptions in Bovaer Adoption Limit) are subsized by public funds, and go for it. This adoption is modelled as a nation-wide proportionality, not province-by-province.
