    1. 1 Sustainability Towards Sustainable Dairy Joop Kleibeuker Secretary General, EDA, TALLINN, 2 October 2009

    2. 2 Sustainability CONTENTS Sustainability, what to think about it Impact of dairy on sustainability Dairy’s contribution to healthy nutrition Dairy’s impact on the environment Dairy-related Greenhouse Gas Emissions The Global Dairy Agenda for Action on Climate change On the way to Copenhagen

    3. 3 Sustainability Sustainability / Sustainable Development Just a buzzword or concept of high importance? Definition presented by Brundtland, 1987: Meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

    4. 4 Sustainability Sustainability / Sustainable Development 3 Pillars / 3 Ps Environment / Planet Society / People Economy / Profit

    5. 5 Sustainability Impacts of Dairy on Sustainability On Economy: a healthy industry, creating wealth for many On Society: rural structures, main contribution to healthy nutrition On Environment: support biodiversity. Various impacts through emissions.

    6. 6 Sustainability Dairy’s Contribution to Health Nutrition Main source for calcium Easily digestible, high quality proteins Many essential minor components, including fat-soluble component Broad range of fatty acids with various essential functions Slow sugar lactose

    7. 7 Sustainability Dairy’s Impact on the Environment Consumption categories mainly contributing: Food + Drink 20-30% Private Transportation 15-20% Housing 20-35% Total of 3 categories: 70-80%

    8. 8 Sustainability Dairy’s Impact on the Environment Environmental Impact Dairy + Meat Products as % of impact of total consumption Acidification 25% Aquatic ecotoxicity 45% Aquatic euthrophication 30% Terrestrial euthrophication 40% Global Warming 15% Nature occupation 35% Non-renewable energy 5% Ozone layer depletion 10%

    9. 9 Sustainability Dairy’s Impact on the Environment Impact Distribution along the production chain GHG Emissions: Dairy farm + supply 80% Transport/processing/packaging/distribution 20% Energy Consumption: Dairy Farm + animal food production 40% Transport/processing/packaging/distribution 60% Acidification: Dairy farm + supply 50% Transport/processing/packaging/distribution 50%

    10. 10 Sustainability Dairy related to Greenhouse Gas Emissions FAO Livestock’s long shadow: Animal production / dairy + meat production contribute 18% to global GHG emissions

    11. 11 Sustainability Dairy related to Greenhouse Gas Emissions A Sustainable Dairy Sector: Facts & Figures on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Study by EDA / CE Delft

    21. 21 Sustainability Dairy Related to Greenhouse Gas Emissions FAO – IDF – SAS Study: Preliminary Results Milk: Emissions up to farmgate NL: 1.48 kg CO2 eq/kg milk Meat: Emissions up to farmgate NL: 36.9 kg CO2 eq/kg meat Protein: ex milk: 46 kg CO2 eq/kg milk protein (NL value) Protein: ex meat: 176 kg CO2 eq/kg meat protein (NL value)

    22. 22 Sustainability Global Dairy Agenda for Action on Climate Change Commitments: Standard methodology for assessing carbon footprint Promotion of best practice Tools to facilitate measurement/monitoring emissions Promote along the full chain understanding on dairy and climate change Work on aligning research efforts on mitigation technologies Every 2 years full report on progress

    23. 23 Sustainability Global Dairy Agenda for Action on Climate Change Green Paper Projects on: Emissions reductions Energy Efficiency Transport Efficiency Reduction in loss of milk/milk products Resource Efficiency Life-cycle analysis and management Projects all along the dairy production chain Projects from more than 40 countries Altogether now 260 projects

    24. 24 Sustainability Global Dairy Agenda for Action on Climate Change Communication See Website: www.dairy-sustainability-initiative.org Declaration Full green paper Press room / press-releases, photographs
