National dairy cooperative, Dairy Farmers of America, has been selected to receive up to $45 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
With this grant, Dairy Farmers of America will scale methane emissions reductions and increase soil carbon sequestration on U.S. dairy farms, as well as develop and market climate-smart, low-carbon dairy products.
Granted through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Partnership for Climate Smart Commodities program, the funding will help build and expand opportunities for consumers to purchase food grown or produced in a climate-friendly way.
