Talash Huijbers, from Limuru, wondered why farmers are the poorest despite growing our food. In 2018, after earning a Food and Agribusiness degree, she founded Insectipro, using insects to revolutionize agriculture. They grow black soldier flies for animal feed and crickets for human consumption. Read her inspiring story at https://lnkd.in/dvxNEAMc #Top40Under40KE

The future of sustainable animal agriculture is bright, and complicated alike. I'm interested on inputs from all sides of this conversation, chime in with your thoughts in the comments! #dairyfarmers #sustainableagriculture #carboncredits

Verified carbon insets are beginning to unlock value for producers, and we’re #DFAproud to showcase the innovative work being done in this space.

EcoFeed® from STgenetics is the largest evidence-based Feed Conversion index in the world, proving that those animals who show a higher EcoFeed® Index, consume 15% less feed than their herd mates. What does 15% equate to? Up to $275,000 in feed costs saved every year!* EcoFeed® from STgenetics makes the most from the most precious resource – FEED! #STgenetics #EcoFeed #DoMoreWithLess #Ultraplus #FarmSustainability *comparing the top 50% (EcoFeed® 103 to 113) vs bottom 50% (EcoFeed® 99 to 91) animals from a 1,000-cow dairy herd

Athian and Dairy Farmers of America understand the importance of measuring, verifying and certifying the environmental benefits dairy farmers provide. The latest progress is a positive step toward making certified GHG reduction insets more accessible.

Dairy is, and continues to be, part of the climate solution. Today, we are #DFAProud to have purchased the first verified carbon credits in livestock inset marketplace from Athian.      Texas dairy farmer Jasper DeVos utilized Athian’s first accepted protocol to generate carbon credits by reducing enteric methane and improving feed utilization through use of an innovative feed management product and quantification tool from Elanco Animal Health, resulting in nearly 1,150 metric tons of CO2e reduction.      "Dairy farmers raise their families and their herds on the same land. They have always been the true stewards of the land, the air and water and, as a result, have been consistently reducing their carbon footprint, year in and year out, decade after decade. However, the necessary systems have not been in place to quantify their tremendous environmental progress in a manner that would compensate for the ongoing investments they have made over generations. The marketplace can now finally allow farmers to realize financial benefits from their initiatives,” Dennis Rodenbaugh, our president and chief executive officer, says.    Learn more about Athian’s innovative technology and opportunities for DFA farmer-owners and the entire dairy industry the future in this article on the Athian website.

There is mounting pressure on trying to keep the current industrial chemical agricultural model going when the laws of nature dictate that it is on its way out, no matter how much we try and deny or stop it. I think Farmer Angus's TED talk explaining the case for regenerative agriculture sums it all up pretty well... the link to the video is in my below post. https://lnkd.in/esMuX7vz

During World Pork Expo, which was held June 5-6 in Des Moines, Iowa, the Alltech Pork Team hosted the Business Seminar, 'Challenging health and productivity: How does the US lead the world in sustainable, profitable pork production?'. The seminar included leaders in the agriculture industry as they discussed the US pork industry's role in global trade, animal health and sustainability. https://lnkd.in/e_rSzSPy

When we focus on sustainable business practices, the benefits add up. In 2023, 4.46 million kg of food was diverted away from landfills to local farms to feed livestock through the Loop Program. Learn more about this program: https://bit.ly/3me4oj7   #EarthMonth
