Cut a fine green figure

摘要

The government's push to cut the carbon footprint of the UK dairy industry received a boost last month as Tesco, Arla Foods, and Dairy UK, the industry's trade association, all announced plans to meet environmental targets set out in the Milk Roadmap.rnAll Tesco's milk will now display its carbon footprint on labels, as part of the plan to label all Tesco products. Members of Arla Foods Milk Partnership (AFMP) are set to meet the targets for 2015 set by the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in the Milk Roadmap three years early. Many have already met the 2010 targets. Dairy UK and the Carbon Trust are to produce an industry-wide carbon footprinting guide to give farmers and processors one set of guidelines.
