Jeremy Hill PhD, MNZM
Chief science and technology officer, Fonterra
Talk title: Practical profitable solutions for the farm.
The three pillars of Fonterra’s long-term plans are a continued focus on New Zealand milk; to be a leader in sustainability; and to be a leader in dairy innovation and science.
Improving Fonterra’s already world-leading carbon footprint requires an integrated approach across all three pillars.
For greenhouse gas-reducing solutions to be practical and profitable for the farm, they must be good for the cow, good for the milk, good for the farmer and good for the planet - what Fonterra refers to as the “Good4s”.
In this talk, Hill gives examples of how Fonterra is using the Good4s to test a wide range of solutions.
