Many Canadian dairy farmers want to measure their carbon footprints to learn how they can take practical, individual action towards making their farms more sustainable businesses. To this end, DFC and the provincial dairy associations are guiding the implementation of a pilot project to test an on-farm GHG emissions calculator, called the Cool Farm Tool. It is designed to help measure a farm’s carbon footprint, provide farmers with data, and help them customize environmental plans and increase efficiencies. The goal is to provide accurate measurements within the Canadian dairy landscape and to paint an accurate picture of the dairy sector’s sustainability, and assess its ease of use.
