Dairy Council of California is proud to recognize the significant progress made by California dairies in reducing methane emissions—achieving an annual reduction of 5 million metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (MMTCO₂e). This milestone, celebrated by our partners at Dairy Cares, underscores the industry’s continued leadership in advancing environmental sustainability while producing high-quality milk for families in California and beyond.
This achievement reflects ongoing investment in on-farm innovation, including improved manure management practices and gains in milk production efficiency. By prioritizing climate-smart solutions, California’s dairy sector is not only leading the nation in milk production but also in methane reduction efforts.
