Climate change: how it will affect dairy farming in the future and what producers can do to reduce their impact
In honour of Earth Day on April 22, DRECA would like to continue the conversation on the environment. While the March conversation focused more on greenhouse gas emissions, this month, DRECA investigated climate change as a whole. While there has been a lot of discussion around what the dairy industry can do to mitigate climate change, it is also important to consider the impact that projects for climate change might have on the industry. In addition, there are some useful tools out there for producers to use to evaluate and reduce their environmental impact.
