Pathways to Dairy Net Zero Initiative Launched
USAgNet - 09/23/2021

Pathways to Dairy Net Zero, a ground-breaking new climate initiative, is launching during Climate Week and just prior to the United Nations Food Systems Summit. Forty leading organizations, including 11 of the 20 largest dairy companies in the world, have already declared their support for the effort. Collectively, these supporters represent approximately 30 percent of total milk production worldwide.

The new climate initiative demonstrates the global dairy sector's commitment to reducing GHG emissions while continuing to produce nutritious foods for six billion people and provide for the livelihoods of one billion people.

"Pathways to Dairy Net Zero will accelerate climate efforts already underway and drive further necessary action to reduce dairy's emissions over the next decades. The dairy sector has a lot to offer to lead this transition," said Hein Schumacher, Chief Executive Officer of Royal FrieslandCampina and Chairman of Global Dairy Platform.

"Mengniu is proud to join the global dairy sector in uniting behind this effort, the first of its kind in agriculture, because we must all do our part to meet this worldwide climate challenge," said Minfang (Jeffrey) Lu, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of China Mengniu Dairy Company.

A multi-stakeholder group of organizations, including the global dairy sector and representatives from the scientific and research communities, are working together to develop science-based methodologies, tools and pathways that work for every dairy system.
