The Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy has announced new science-based resources available for dairy producers, processors, industry partners and stakeholders. The resources help the industry act on the scientific research commissioned as part of the U.S. Dairy Sustainability Commitment — a collective effort of the dairy value chain to measure and improve the sustainability of U.S. dairy from farm to table.
The three new resources available include:
- U.S. Dairy’s Environmental Footprint, a reference guide that taps into the public’s interest in learning about the foods they eat and the environmental impact of their choices.
- A scientific publication, a special issue of the International Dairy Journal, which features 10 peer-reviewed articles highlighting findings from the fluid milk LCAs.
- Farm Smart, an online tool currently in development, which combines key learning from the research with engineering and best management practices to help dairy producers calculate their environmental footprints.
