Fonterra and Nestle announced a new partnership designed to help reduce New Zealand's on-farm emissions, including a move to develop a commercially viable net zero carbon emissions dairy farm. Over the five year project, the farm, run with co-partner Dairy Trust Taranaki, will examine all aspects of farm operations to reduce carbon, with the aim of cutting emissions by 30 by mid 2027, and a 10-year ambition of reaching net zero carbon emissions. The demonstration farm at the centre of the project is a 290-hectare property surrounding Fonterra's Whareroa site. Dairy Trust Taranaki will work with Fonterra and industry partners to reduce total emissions on the farm, including methane, with successful solutions also being good for the farmer, good for the cow and good for the milk.
