As we celebrate Earth Day this month, weโre bringing a special rerun episode of The Dairy Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast. In this conversation with Dr. Robin White from Virginia Tech, she explores the complex intersection of dairy cattle production and climate change. Dr. White discusses the industry's contributions to greenhouse gas emissions, strategies to reduce environmental impact, and the irreplaceable nutrients provided by dairy products, exploring both challenges and opportunities. Tune in to this episode on all major platforms.
"Eliminating animal agriculture would only reduce agricultural emissions by about 30%, as humans would still require agricultural land for food production."
Meet the guest: Dr. Robin White is an Associate Professor at Virginia Tech with expertise in sustainable livestock systems. With a Ph.D. and B.S. in Animal Sciences from Washington State University, her research focuses on greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient efficiency, and sustainable strategies for ruminants.
