Sustainable dairy partnership between CDFA and Denmark commemorated during MOU signing

CDFA Secretary Karen Ross today joined Denmark’s Food, Agriculture and Fisheries minister, Rasmus Prehn, at the Stanford Mansion in Sacramento to commemorate in-person their 2021 virtual signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on Sustainable Dairy Production.
 
Secretary Ross at the event: “Dairy is the leading agricultural commodity in our state (by value of production). We have a goal of reducing methane emissions by 40 percent from 2013 by 2030– eight short years away–and collaboration and the sharing of information are critical to meeting our goals. Denmark’s partnership only strengthens our opportunity to meet and exceed our goals in methane reduction and further-sustainable dairy production.”
 
The event was followed by a Sustainable Dairy Seminar, with presentations from dairy industry experts and scientists from throughout California.
