UK retailer Tesco has partnered with dairy suppliers Arla and Muller to launch the "Future Dairy Partnership," which aims to transform the sustainability of the dairy sector.

The partnership will involve all 400 of Tesco's Sustainable Dairy Group farmers and focuses on reducing on-farm emissions by 30% by 2030. Key initiatives include testing methane-reducing feed additives, implementing nature-friendly farming methods, and developing a sustainable dairy blueprint for farmers.

The collaboration will also produce an industry-wide report on sustainable dairy pathways, provide financial support for sustainability goals, and invite other organizations across the dairy industry to join the initiative.

Analyst QuickTake: Recently, Cargill invested USD 1 million in research to reduce methane emissions from cattle. Furthermore, Ajinomoto and Danone partnered to create novel feed additives to curb methane output. These developments underscore a growing commitment among leading players to innovate solutions that align with environmental goals and the evolving expectations for sustainable food production.
