Arla Foods has set aside up to three eurocent per kilo of milk as part of a sustainability incentive to its farmers to motivate them to reach its 2030 emission reduction target on farms.
To incentivise farmers to implement sustainable practices, from next year the milk price that individual Arla farmers will receive from the dairy cooperative will depend on their activities relating to environmental sustainability.
This is part of Arla Foods’ scope three target to reduce GHG emissions 30 percent per tonne of standardised raw milk and whey by 2030. Also in a drive for sustainability, Arla is on a mission to reach zero carbon emissions by 2050.
