  • Invited review: Sustainability of the US Dairy Industry.
    Journal of dairy science, 2013
    Co-Authors: M Von Keyserlingk, Kim Knowlton, C Sniffen, John Harner, M Stephenson, N. Martin, Ermias Kebreab, R Grant, A. Wright
    Abstract:

    The US Dairy Industry has realized tremendous improvements in efficiencies and milk production since the 1940s. During this time, farm and total cow numbers have decreased and average herd size has increased. This intensification, combined with the shift to a largely urban public, has resulted in increased scrutiny of the Dairy Industry by social and environmental movements and increased concern regarding the Dairy Industry’s sustainability. In response to these concerns, a group of scientists specializing in animal welfare, nutrient management, greenhouse gas emissions, animal science, agronomy, agricultural engineering, microbiology, and economics undertook a critical review of the US Dairy Industry. Although the US Dairy system was identified as having significant strengths, the consensus was that the current structure of the Industry lacks the resilience to adapt to changing social and environmental landscapes. We identified several factors affecting the sustainability of the US Dairy Industry, including climate change, rapid scientific and technological innovation, globalization, integration of societal values, and multidisciplinary research initiatives. Specific challenges include the westward migration of milk production in the United States (which is at odds with projected reductions in precipitation and associated limitations in water availability for cattle and crops), and the growing divide between Industry practices and public perceptions, resulting in less public trust. Addressing these issues will require improved alignment between Industry practices and societal values, based upon leadership from within the Industry and sustained engagement with other interested participants, including researchers, consumers, and the general public.

  • Sustainability in the Dairy Industry: a systematic literature review
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020
    Co-Authors: Alexandre André Feil, Dusan Schreiber, Claus Haetinger, Ângela Maria Haberkamp, Joice Inês Kist, Claudete Rempel, Alisson Eduardo Maehler, Mario Conill Gomes, Gustavo Rodrigo Silva
    Abstract:

    The Dairy Industry can contribute to global food security in a sustainable way by efficiently converting milk into Dairy ingredients and products, even though they are polluting on a large scale. In this context, this study aimed to conduct a systematic literature review on sustainable indicators and Dairy industries. The methodology used has a qualitative and quantitative approach and its technical procedure was the systematic literature review. The bases of journals consulted, using the keywords “sustainability indicator” and “Dairy Industry” which resulted in 130 valid scientific articles. The main results show that the sustainability indicators in the Dairy Industry are emerging and lacking research; being found seven papers, that highlight 12 indicators of the environmental, 11 of the social and eight economic dimensions, that may be considered fragile and initial. The studied problems are related to wastewater treatment methods, electric power consumption, efficiency of the industrial plant, among others, and the benefits on the theme are related to solutions to the difficulties, such as electricity reduction, sustainable practices. Among others, it is concluded that the Dairy industries address the sustainability theme since 2011, with an ambiguous trend, being found evidence of the fragility of the sustainability indicators was found, mainly in the initial stage of their conception, when considering holistic approach (triple bottom line).
