By CDFA Undersecretary Jenny Lester Moffitt <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

California\ndairy and livestock operations play a significant role in mitigating and\npreventing climate change and are doing their part to champion sustainable\npractices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, SB 1383 (Lara) established a statewide goal of reducing methane reductions by 40 percent below 2013 levels by 2030. This includes methane reductions in California\u2019s dairy and livestock sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With funding from California Climate Investments<\/a>, California farmers and ranchers have achieved annual manure methane reductions of 1.41 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalence (MMTCO2e) – about 12 percent of the 2013 level. This is important progress toward meeting the 40 percent target and is the result of hard work, innovation, and a commitment to sustainable practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state of California has awarded $144 million dollars from the Climate Change Investment fund for dairy methane projects, marking a significant public\/private partnership with California dairy and livestock operations and demonstrating what is possible when government agencies and businesses work together on solutions that benefit the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, 64 dairy digester projects<\/a> have received $114 million dollars in grant funding, which has been matched by developers and dairy families with an additional $199 million dollars. These 64 digester projects are responsible for the reduction of 1.28 MMTCO2e, annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, $30 million dollars has been awarded to 56 alternative manure management projects<\/a>, leading to an annual reduction of 131,049 metric tons of CO2 equivalent, annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These programs are each addressing water quality, air quality, and dairy herd size – and they have engaged stakeholders in important community outreach. Dairy digester projects must double-line ponds for water quality, minimize emission of air pollutants by meeting best available control technology, and identify actions to address community concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To\nreduce methane reductions, it\u2019s clear that we need all available strategies. We\nneed dairy digesters and<\/em> alternative manure management practices to\ncombat climate change. These methane reduction projects show the importance of\naddressing greenhouse gas emissions and<\/em> developing practices that\ngenerate renewable energy and compost to foster healthy soils \u2013 all of which\nare essential strategies in addressing climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most\nimportantly, we need the continued innovation and leadership of California\nranchers and farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past four years I\u2019ve had the opportunity to travel the state to see this innovation and leadership in action, and to visit many of the dairy digester and alternative manure management projects that have received funding. With each visit and each conversation, I am continually reminded that California farmers and ranchers are committed to doing their part to address climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
