Praise for Carbery’s Zero C farm plan

The dairy industry's drive towards carbon-neutral farms

The Carbery processing plant: the Group's emphasis has now turned to suppliers' dairy farms, and to reducing their carbon emissions.

Bord Bia has praised the West Cork-based Carbery Group for its programme to develop a carbon-neutral dairy farm.

The research farm at Shinagh near Bandon is being used to trial and test measures to reduce carbon output, and to implement carbon sequestration, to the extent that production is carbon neutral.
