Dairy Farmers of America expects to soon start incentivizing climate-smart practices as part of a $45 million grant from UDSA.
Kristen Coady tells Brownfield their pilot should put farmers in the center of a climate-smart commodities economy.
“Our grant gives incentives to farmers to adopt new technologies that can help them be more sustainable and then us developing and introducing into the market some low-climate dairy products—the returns because we are a cooperative would go back to those farmer-owners,” she explains.
