<p dir="ltr">To improve circularity on dairy farms, you can either improve efficiency, reduce nutrient losses, green house gas emissions and waste, or use inputs that are sustainable, requiring few non-renewable resources and having a low environmental footprint.</p><p dir="ltr">Our work explores the use of waste streams from other industries to replace current less sustainable purchased feeds on a dairy farm in New Zealand, and the impact of this on the carbon footprint of a dairy farm from cradle to farm gate.</p>
