Plant-Based Shift Cuts Food Emissions 35%
A new randomized clinical trial highlighted by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine reveals that replacing meat and dairy with a low-fat vegan diet—including soybeans—can reduce diet-related greenhouse gas emissions by 35%, underscoring the climate impact of food choices. Published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health, the study found that this dietary shift delivers emissions…
Methane leaks threaten dairy digester gains
A new study highlights that while methane digesters on dairy farms are largely effective, rare but massive leaks can erase much of their climate benefit, raising concerns about long-term sustainability. The research, led by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, analyzed 98 dairies across California over eight years using satellite and airborne data, tracking…
New feed tech supports dairy net zero goals, higher milk yields
A novel bio-catalyst feed technology shows breakthrough results to help dairy farmers and their industry meet new net zero targets while increasing milk yields. A recent dairy lactation study with the technology shows significant gains in feed efficiency linked with higher productivity – resulting in a strong return on investment. “These are very exciting results that…
