New Tool Highlights Benefits of Organic Milk
The good folks at the Organic Center, whose mission is "to generate credible, peer reviewed scientific information and communicate the verifiable benefits of organic farming and products to society," released a new tool today that details the benefits derived from organic milk production.
From the news release:
A calculator has been developed to help consumers, dairy farmers, and food companies estimate the avoided environmental, public health, and animal welfare impacts associated with shifting dairy cows from conventional to organic management. The "avoided impacts" stemming from applications of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, herbicides and insecticides, and several classes of animal drugs can now be estimated for a single milking cow, a given herd of milking animals, across all cows in a region or all farms shipping to a given dairy processing company, or even for a gallon of milk.
For more information and to request the calculator, go here.
