The main target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% per kilo of milk over the next decade and work toward carbon net zero by 2050.
Arla Foods, Basking Ridge, N.J., and its 10,300 farmer owners launched ambitious targets to accelerate the transition to sustainable dairy production with an intensified focus on the farms. The main target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% per kilo of milk over the next decade and work toward carbon net zero by 2050.
“We want to leverage our position as the leading international farming cooperative with 10,300 farmers and perhaps the most comprehensive understanding of dairy farming and production in Northern Europe to accelerate the transition to sustainable dairy production. We have worked toward sustainable farming for years, and we need to go further and faster, not least to help fight climate change, which affects everyone on the planet, especially us farmers,” says Jan Toft Nørgaard, chairman.
