For dairy major Danone, regenerative agriculture isn’t just about the land; it’s also about animal welfare, GHG emissions reduction, and the livelihoods of its farmers.
The CPG giant’s newly-opened Institute of Agricultural Sciences will enable the company to accelerate its research into sustainable dairy farming practices.
The hope is to eliminate all on-farm emissions in 10 years while keeping operations ‘commercially viable’. An opt-in subsidy scheme for farmers is also in the works.
