Neutral Foods was the first U.S. company to be certified as carbon neutral. In this enlightening episode of Ag Future, we talk with Jake Schmitz, carbon reduction manager at Neutral, about developing a carbon-neutral company. An organic dairy expert and advocate for sustainable farming practices, Jake offers expert insights into the opportunities for dairy farmers to not only meet their sustainability goals but to improve performance and profitability. Jake shares insights on various Neutral projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gases, including interior fermentation, manure management, and transitioning to electric power. He also discusses the use of Agolin®, a Carbon-Trust-certified essential oil blend added to cow feed. Despite the challenges, Jake remains hopeful about the future of farming and the role of companies like Neutral in driving sustainable change.
