How are dairy farmers helping the environment?
Today's Farms
Dairy farmers have improved their practices to do more with fewer resources. Compared to 40 years ago, today we produce milk with only 21% of the number of cows, 35% of the water, and 10% of the land, while generating only 24% of the manure and 37% of the carbon emissions. The dairy industry is committed to reducing its carbon footprint even further by the year 2020.
