Dairy Sustainability Alliance Highlights Progress

The 2024 Fall Meeting of the Dairy Sustainability Alliance emphasized the industry’s collective efforts to meet sustainability targets.  The Alliance said the industry will accomplish its goals through adopting new technologies, best practices, and measurement tools.

Last month’s meeting in Minnesota brought together more than 350 representatives from the dairy value chain, including nearly 40 dairy farmers, to collaborate on advancing sustainability across the industry.  Presentation topics during the meeting included shopper attitudes around sustainability, the FARM environmental stewardship program, the dairy conservation navigator platform, and many others.  

“U.S. dairy is truly walking the walk with significant progress to celebrate and by continuing to learn as there’s more work to do,” says Sarah Hanson, executive lead for the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy. “We will continue building our collective knowledge, navigating challenges, and providing solutions for our producers.”

The Alliance is a multi-stakeholder initiative led by the checkoff-funded Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy.  To learn more about the Dairy Sustainability Alliance, visit the Organization's Website.
