General Mills, Foremost Farms collaborate to reduce GHG emissions
The module provides a comprehensive estimate of a farm’s GHG emissions and energy use, which allows farmers to gauge their carbon footprint, identify areas for improvement, explore new practices, track performance and reduce costs.
General Mills, Minneapolis, and Foremost Farms USA, Baraboo, Wis., collaborated on a 3-year pilot program that produced a combined 11% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for 16 dairy farmers in Michigan.
Foremost Farms is committed to conserving resources, protecting the environment and caring for animals, and General Mills set a goal to reduce GHG by 28% across the value chain by 2025 to address climate change.
