The Dairy Sustainability chain targets a reduction of greenhouse gasses, production of sustainable energy and a reduction of energy usage. The progress of the sector is monitored independently by Wageningen Economic Research.
Goals
- Reduction of greenhouse gasses and climate neutral development.
- Production of sustainable energy.
- Improvement energy-efficiency per year.
Method
Currently, the main focus is on giving dairy farmes insights. Several digital calculation modules are developed and benchmarks are being set. They are used frequently. On the basis of the outcomes of these modules, advice is given to improve the results.
Activities
- Visualizing energy consumption and advice on energy-saving measures, resulting from the Energy scan.
- The Carbon footprint module is connected to the Central Database KringloopWijzer. A benchmark is being set, which leads to more improvement in the future.
Results
Wageningen Economic Research prepares annual reports to monitor progress on sectoral efforts.
