Project Background
There are a number of environmental challenges inherent in the operation of a large dairy concern. These challenges include: air pollution (including greenhouse gas emissions), odor emissions, and groundwater contamination due to nutrient leaching. This project aims to mitigate these issues and further sustainable farming practices on a large dairy operation. Grant funds will be used to test and evaluate an innovative anaerobic digester system that will produce renewable Energy, return concentrated nutrients back to the farm, and substantially reduce the environmental impacts of concentrated animal agriculture operations.
