Tracking down dairy’s greenhouse gas footprint 13% of New York state milk (1 in 7 gallons) was assessed for greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. “It is important for individual dairy farms to be able to know their farm footprint,” said Karl Czymmek, dairy climate leadership specialist for PRO-DAIRY. “Tracking results over time through a greenhouse gas footprint tool helps farmers meet stewardship goals set by the dairy industry, food company targets and public policy objectives,” Czymmek continued. “This project is key to helping us understand how New York dairy farms are performing in terms of their greenhouse gas emissions,” said Godber. If you are a farmer interested in estimating your greenhouse gas footprint, contact Olivia Godber with questions or a request to join the project.
