Description

Rylie E. O. Pelton, Fabian Bernal, and Tim Kurt map greenhouse gas emissions from United States dairy products by region in a 2026 study. The industry aims for net neutrality by 2050, but no full farm-to-processing account existed.

The life cycle covered 12 regions holding 99.96 percent of national production. Total emissions for 2020 came to 163.3 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent across the chain. Raw milk production drove an average of 81 percent of that total. Processing emissions varied by region with product mix, energy use, grid makeup, and hauling distance. Cutting emissions will take action on farms and in plants together.
