Exciting news in sustainable agriculture! Athian has successfully sold the first verified carbon credits in its livestock carbon insetting marketplace to the Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) 🐄
Texas dairy farmer Jasper DeVos utilized Athian’s protocol, reducing enteric methane and improving feed utilization, resulting in a significant reduction of 1,150 metric tons of CO2e. If adopted industry-wide, the U.S. dairy sector could avoid 4.7 million metric tons of CO2e emissions annually.
DFA, as the largest U.S. milk marketing cooperative, is leading the way by establishing a science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% across the supply chain by 2030. This aligns with the dairy industry’s commitment to becoming greenhouse gas neutral or better by 2025 🌱 For more information, click here!
