As caretakers of animals and the land, sustainability isn’t just an initiative for our farmers – it’s a way of life and a responsibility to future generations. At Dairy Farmers of America, we are constantly focused on finding new, innovative ways to conserve resources, reduce waste and work efficiently — on farms, in plants and on the road. We are committed to developing solutions and sharing them with others in order to give farm families the opportunity to work the same land for years to come. Taking care of our planet isn’t just an initiative — it’s a responsibility that’s taken to heart. As leaders in sustainability, we’re working toward a net zero or net negative carbon footprint for our Cooperative and U. S. dairy. We put our people first, on and off the farm. We want all of our employees and farmers to thrive, which is why we provide a safe place to work and support positive workplace culture. The success of our business – today and for future generations – relies on the health and well-being of our farmers’ cows and the environment. We enrich our communities with the nutritional goodness of dairy, by providing a direct connection to where their food comes from and through ongoing community service efforts.
