International Symposium on Dairy Cattle Nutrition 2022: Emission-free dairy: the road towards net zero

The dairy sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions, increasing the societal pressure on dairy farmers worldwide to continue innovation within a sustainable and welfare friendly production chain. It is a challenge to further optimize productivity and reduce emissions, to ensure both global food security as well as a healthy planet for next generations. What are the actual steps farmers can take to reduce their footprint? And how to balance all demands and restrictions on farm?
