When you treat yourself to ice cream, you can feel good about the impact you’re making on the environment. The dairy industry is getting more sustainable every day. Sustainable farming means doing what’s right for the environment and continuously improving practices for future generations. The industry has done just that by reducing its carbon footprint by 63 percent since 1960 and producing three times more milk with half the cows. By 2020, dairy farmers aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by another 25 percent, the equivalent to taking 1.25 million cars off the road.
Not only are farmers sustainable, they also focus on treating their animals right. Now more than ever, farmers understand what cows need to produce healthy milk. Building climate-controlled barns and feeding them a nutritious diet are just two ways farmers take care of their animals. Each year South Dakota dairy cows eat approximately 18,000 tons of soybean meal and we enjoy the benefits!
Now that you’ve learned more about the sustainable side of your ice cream, it’s time to create mouthwatering Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches. Watch the video below for step-by-step instructions.
Hungry for Truth is an initiative about food and farming funded by the South Dakota soybean checkoff. The goal is to connect South Dakotans with the farmers who grow and raise their food.
