How will the U.S. dairy industry reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 25 percent by 2020?
The dairy industry is embracing best practices and innovations during every step of the process that brings milk to the table. Currently, 12 projects across the dairy supply chain are under way — from production of feed for dairy cows to processing, packaging and distribution of milk — that are estimated to achieve a 12 percent reduction in GHG emissions and reduce carbon dioxide by 3.2 million metric tons — equal to eliminating the emissions generated from using 363 million gallons of gasoline.
