When it comes to climate change, the dairy industry is firmly in the spotlight. That\u2019s why farmer-owned co-operative, First Milk<\/a>, has made ambitious net zero commitments based on the widescale adoption of regenerative farming techniques. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe recognize that dairy is seen as part of the climate problem,\u201d <\/em>explained Mark Brooking, Sustainability Director at First Milk. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n

\u201cYet dairy has an important role in providing great tasting, nutritious food, produced naturally from resources that otherwise couldn\u2019t be consumed by humans. The challenge \u2013 the same one that faces the whole of society \u2013 is to decarbonize our industry and reduce carbon equivalent emissions to net zero as soon as possible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Back in early 2021, that\u2019s exactly what First Milk committed to \u2013 an ambition that saw them targeting net zero across Scope 1, 2, and 3 by 2040 at the latest, to the launch of regenerative action plans for all its members, and to sequestering 100,000t of carbon in soils per annum by 2025.<\/p>\n\n

In addition, they committed to a range of intermediate targets, including the use of renewable fuel sources in milk transport and processing by 2030, and the plan to reduce carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 at farm level.<\/p>\n\n
