The dairy sector provides a vital source of global nutrition and supports the livelihoods of a billion people. Yet enteric emissions from the ruminant digestive process are also the largest single source of human-related methane. While farmers have made significant reductions in the methane intensity of dairy products through enhanced herd management, there is a need to scale enteric emission solutions that can make immediate and impactful reductions in enteric emissions.

European dairy cooperative Arla has made a sector-leading commitment to reduce methane emissions from their farmer owners. Learn more about their new sustainability incentive program and how farmers are adopting on-farm climate practices. The panel will also explore the current state of enteric emission solutions and what additional research is needed to support farmer adoption of enteric emission solutions.
