The environment is one of the three fundamental pillars of sustainability, followed by the social and economic areas. Regarding this topic, dairy farmers have been doing a great job of tracking sustainability, but it is necessary to make more progress – more importantly, it is necessary to show this progress to the world, thus giving our cows a greener image than ever before. In this episode, with Tara Vander Dussen, we discuss all the challenges and future perspectives for environmental sustainability along with her experience with it and the importance of sharing a sustainable message and engaging on social media.
