Pathways to Dairy Net Zero, a ground-breaking new climate initiative, is launching today during Climate Week and just prior to the United Nations (UN) Food Systems Summit.
The new initiative, which aims to accelerate climate change action and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the dairy sector, is already backed by organizations representing approximately 30 percent of global milk production.
Pathways to Dairy Net Zero initiative is unlike any other in agriculture in terms of size, scope and ambition, organizers said.
Climate and agricultural scientists, led by the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases, are conducting a systematic review of the science to identify current and potential mitigation options across dairy production systems.
The entire international dairy supply chain is called on to
increase its climate ambition and unite behind this movement.
