Danone, the dairy giant behind Dannon and Horizon Organic, aims to cut methane emissions from its milk supply chain by 30% over seven years.

Danone, the food conglomerate behind yogurt and milk brands Activia, Dannon, Oikos and Horizon Organic, aims to cut Earth-warming methane emissions from its fresh-milk supply chain by some 30% over the next seven years.

Danone said Tuesday it will take steps that include better management of dairy herds, manure and feed additives to help it meet the target. Danone works directly with 58,000 dairy farmers across 20 countries and has already supported projects for dairy farms in 14 countries through its regenerative agriculture program, it said.

“Cutting methane emissions is one of the fastest and most effective ways to slow climate change,” said Fred Krupp, head of EDF, a nonprofit that operates in 30 countries and says it will make sure Danone and other ag interests accurately report their emissions progress.

Just. Stop. It.

Climate change is a natural process of our planet.

What a strange thing. So, who is gonna tell all the cows that they are 'moving to a farm in the country'?

I bet you a New York steak and a Rib Eye flatulent cows aren't the problem.

Than end fracking
