Ben & Jerry's commits to slashing dairy farm greenhouse gas emissions by 2024
‘Project Mootopia’ tackles climate change through seaweed supplements, manure management.
Ben & Jerry’s, Burlington, Vt., is making a bold commitment to bring greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) on 15 dairy farms to half the industry average by the end of 2024. Once proven, pilot project initiatives will be expanded to farms across Ben & Jerry's global dairy supply chain, the company said.
“This approach to dairy farming could be a game-changer,” said Jenna Evans, global sustainability manager for Ben & Jerry's. "It has the potential to make a meaningful reduction in emissions on dairy farms and help fight the worst effects of climate change. All of us, especially businesses, must take action before it's too late and the climate crisis makes our world uninhabitable."
