The Farmer Forward Program represents a significant five-year investment aimed at empowering dairy farmers to tackle on-farm emissions. This initiative, developed in collaboration with Fonterra, a global leader in dairy production and a long-time supplier, pledges a substantial $27 million USD.
The program is designed to provide farmers with essential tools and technology that can enhance their operational efficiency while simultaneously reducing their environmental impact. By focusing on innovative practices and sustainable farming methods, the initiative seeks to foster a more eco-friendly dairy industry.
In addition to technological support, the program will offer cash incentives to encourage farmers to adopt greener practices. This multifaceted approach not only aims to lower emissions but also supports farmers in improving their overall productivity and profitability.
As the agricultural sector faces increasing pressure to address climate change, programs like Farmer Forward represent a proactive step toward a more sustainable future for dairy farming.
