Dairy dumps on waste report

Description

A study co-authored by Thomas Elliot from Aalborg University in Denmark suggests that Canadian producers have wasted between 6.8 billion and 10 billion litres of milk since 2012, contributing to significant carbon dioxide emissions. The Canadian Dairy Commission disputes these figures, arguing they are based on unverifiable assumptions. The study recommends actions to mitigate milk waste, including mandatory reporting on surplus production and penalties for overproduction. (Summary provided by Infomedia).
