    Tasmanian dairy producer Ashgrove, in partnership with Sea Forest, announced a "ground-breaking achievement in the global fight against climate change: the world's first commercially available low-emission milk, Ashgrove Eco-Milk."

    "This pioneering product represents a significant leap forward in the decarbonization of the dairy industry, offering consumers a delicious and sustainable choice," the company added.

    The product is now available on shelves in Woolworths, Coles, and IGA supermarkets across Tasmania. 

    Ashgrove Eco-Milk delivers the "full cream milk experience, retaining its taste and quality while reducing methane emissions. This achievement is possible through Ashgrove's innovative partnership with Sea Forest, a fellow Tasmanian company." the company states.

    "Partnering with Ashgrove to launch the world's first low-emission milk is a remarkable milestone for Sea Forest," said Sam Elsom (pictured), CEO of Sea Forest. "This pioneering collaboration demonstrates the potential of our methane-mitigating feed product, SEAFEED, to revolutionize the dairy industry globally. We are committed to working with partners like Ashgrove to expand this technology and empower consumers worldwide to make sustainable choices while enjoying delicious and nutritious milk."

    Sea Forest, a Asparagopsis seaweed cultivator, has developed SEAFEED – a feed product with the potential to reduce methane emissions from livestock by up to 90%, it states. "By incorporating SEAFEED into their cows' diet, Ashgrove significantly lowers its herd's methane footprint without compromising milk quality. SEAFEED has been used across commercial farming and feedlots for the past three years and is backed by over 30 peer-reviewed studies." 

    "Ashgrove is proud to be at the forefront of this global challenge, offering a solution rooted in Tasmanian innovation," said Richard Bennett, managing director of Ashgrove. "Eco-Milk embodies our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and community well-being."
