Canada's dairy farms dump 7 per cent of all milk produced, study contends

Description

A study published in the Ecological Economics journal reveals that Canada's dairy industry discards approximately 7% of all milk it produces. The study's authors, including Professor Thomas Elliot from Aalborg University, determined that over 6.8 billion litres of raw milk have disappeared from Canadian farms since 2012. The authors argue that the practice of dumping milk that meets food safety standards should be halted and that the system should be reformed to penalize overproduction.
