Abstract

The agriculture and food sector, including dairy farming, is a substantial contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States. Recognizing the increasing concerns about the role of the dairy sector in climate change, the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy launched the Net Zero Initiative (NZI) in 2021. This industry-wide effort aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 (U.S. Dairy, 2023). However, attaining net-zero emissions across the entire dairy industry is a complex and multifaceted goal that cannot be accomplished without effective participation and substantial investment from stakeholders including dairy producers, consumers, and processors (Flysjö, 2012).
