Good Culture partners with Dairy Farmers of America with Path To Pasture program US dairy food company Good Culture has partnered with Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) to create the Path to Pasture program to help support soil health and utilize pasture on family dairy farms.
Through the Path to Pasture program with DFA s sustainability team and associated nonprofits, funds from Good Culture will be leveraged to provide farmers with education on and access to sustainable, regenerative agriculture farming practices.
The Path to Pasture pilot program will initially be offered to farmers in the Minnesota and Wisconsin milkshed interested in enhancing soil or pasture health. Initial outreach and commitments started in 2020, with implementation of new resources and processes to start in spring 2021. Consultations will continue through mid-summer 2021 with implementation for those in the program in the fall.

The promise of renewable natural gas is a sustainability win that has been financially and logistically out of reach for even the largest companies. Vanguard Renewables created the Farm Powered Strategic Alliance to start delivering on this promise for its founding members Unilever, Starbucks and Dairy Farmers of America.
The Massachusetts-based recycler uses anaerobic biodigesters to create renewable natural gas from food waste. Bacteria in the digesters consume the waste, creating methane and CO2 as byproducts. The gas can then be used for energy purposes.

Major food industry leaders are joining forces alongside Vanguard Renewables to launch the Farm Powered Strategic Alliance aimed at accelerating long-term commitments to avoid or eliminate food waste first and repurpose what can’t be eliminated into renewable energy. FPSA first movers include Unilever, Starbucks, and Dairy Farmers of America. The Farm Powered Strategic Alliance commits to reducing food waste from manufacturing and the supply chain and repurposing any unavoidable waste that cannot be eliminated into renewable energy via Vanguard Renewables farm-based anaerobic digesters. The FPSA members also commit to begin exploring the process of decarbonizing their thermal energy usage by converting to farm-derived renewable natural gas.
