Tracking and enhancing farm sustainability using Dairy Sustainability Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

This project provides dairy farms with science-based tools to track Nutrient Mass Balances, GHG inventories, and biodiversity. By monitoring nutrient imports and exports, participating New York farms have already reduced N and phosphorus imports by 20-30%, boosting profitability and sustainability. Farms are also demonstrating that milk can be produced with low GHG inventories. Confidential, benchmarked farm reports help producers identify specific management changes that improve efficiency and meet environmental goals while maintaining economic viability. Learn more.
