Land O'Lakes Inc., in a partnership with Bel Brands USA, is expanding its three-year pilot program in 2022 to five additional farms ranging in size from 450 to 2,000 cows. The program's goal is to support the adoption of sustainable farming and animal feed production methods to improve soil health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions on one of its supplying dairy farms.
“Our partnership with Land O’Lakes and dairy farmers exemplifies our unwavering commitment to sustainability. We want to be the best possible partners to dairy farmers in their efforts to make the dairy industry more sustainable and conserve the planet’s resources across all areas of supply chain and all brands in the Bel Brands portfolio, including family favorites such as Babybel, The Laughing Cow and Boursin,” said Brian Zook, director of Milk Sourcing and Sustainability at Bel Brands U.S.A. “We are honored to receive the Outstanding Supply Chain Sustainability Award from U.S. Dairy for this program. Such a prestigious award from a leading industry organization is further proof that this program is the future of sustainable changes in the dairy farming industry.”’
