Organic Valley, Stonyfield Organic, UNFI, and Whole Foods Market Collaborate in Groundbreaking Value Chain Climate Initiative for US...

Description
In the BC Food News podcast, host Jennifer English discussed a pioneering collaboration between Organic Valley, Stonyfield Organic, UNFI, and Whole Foods Market. These companies have joined forces in a program called the Carbon Insetting Program, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions across the U.S. organic dairy supply chain. This initiative focuses on making the food's journey from farm to table more eco-friendly and sustainable while supporting the organic dairy farms that actually produce the food. The collaboration involves implementing sustainable practices on farms, like utilizing solar power and specialized feed innovations to reduce methane emissions from cows, leading to the creation of Verified Impact Units (VIUs). This transparent process is benchmarked and publicly reported on the SustainCERT VIVID platform, increasing consumer trust and industry credibility.
