BFF launch dairy footprint website
Fri 04 Jun 2010
BFF has been further developing our agriculture and food portfolio, with the launch of a major project to assess the carbon footprint of Scotland’s dairy supply chains for the Scottish Government. The project is being delivered in partnership with agricultural consultants Laurence Gould, and we have developed a dedicated project website for organisations to contribute feedback and case studies via focus groups: www.dairyfootprint.org.
The analysis will examine emissions sources from across the supply chain – from farm to consumer – and highlight emissions reduction opportunities. Footprint results will be presented by dairy product and for the industry as a whole.
Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead said: “Scotland’s dairy sector plays a vital role in supporting our rural communities and has already taken great strides to become more resource efficient.
"This project will provide further opportunities to reduce its collective carbon footprint and utilise Scotland’s natural assets to deliver a sustainable future for dairy production and help us to meet our ambitious climate change targets.
"It's also important in demonstrating to consumers that the dairy sector takes its duty to improve the environment seriously."
