Minnesota pork producers say they have a road map to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% this decade without a "one-size-fits-all approach."
The Minnesota Pork Board released a report Tuesday that outlines a range of actions to make pork production more sustainable by 2030. Cover crops, reduced tillage, manure management and grassland and wetland restoration can yield the biggest reductions in on-farm emissions.
Rather than impose a mandate — which makes many farmers bristle — the report shows how each change can reduce heat-trapping gases.
