Good Culture, DFA partner to further commitment to people, animals and the planet
The Path to Pasture program will help create a more sustainable pasture-raised milk supply using regenerative farming practices with a focus on planned grazing.
As a 1% for the Planet member, Good Culture, an Irvine, Calif.-based cultured dairy brand that aims to make real healing foods available to all, said it partnered with Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), Kansas City, Kan., to create the Path to Pasture program. The program will help support soil health and utilization of pasture on family dairy farms.
Through the Path to Pasture program, with DFA’s sustainability team and associated nonprofits, funds from Good Culture will be leveraged to provide farmers with education on and access to sustainable, regenerative agriculture farming practices that are critical in delivering nutrient-dense foods to the masses. The Path to Pasture pilot program will initially be offered to farmers located in the Minnesota and Wisconsin milkshed that are interested in enhancing soil or pasture health, Good Culture said. Initial outreach and commitments began in 2020, with implementation of new resources and processes to start in spring 2021. Consultations will continue through mid-summer 2021, with implementation for those in the program to follow in the fall.
