The U.S. Dairy Net Zero Initiative has pledged to achieve net-zero dairy by 2050, which will require that GHG emissions generated by dairy production are offset by carbon dioxide (CO2) that is removed from the atmosphere.

Climate change is a growing risk for the agricultural sector, and livestock producers are looking for ways to improve the resilience of their operations while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
