Dairy is good for you and good for the planet. ❤️

U.S. dairy farm families care about fostering a sustainable future for generations to come. Thanks to innovative farming practices, the environmental impact of producing a gallon of milk in 2017 shrunk significantly, requiring:

💧 30% less water
🌱 21% less land
🌎 19% smaller carbon footprint

...than it did in 2007 with the initiative to become carbon neutral or better by 2050.

Dairy products are an accessible, affordable choice of nutrition including high-quality protein, calcium and vitamin D that benefit health and wellness. 🐄

A team of researchers from @virginia.tech and @usdagov found that eliminating cows would only reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by a mere 0.7% while seriously reducing the supply of various essential nutrients that milk provides.

Learn more about how the absence of dairy cows would impact nutrition and the environment, 🔗 in bio.

Dairy is local.

#DYK that most of the milk you buy at the grocery store in Michigan comes from Michigan? Our 1,200 dairy farm families and nearly 90 dairy processing plants in the state work hard to get fresh products to lunchrooms and grocery stores year-round. 🥛 97% of Michigan dairy farms are family-owned. When you purchase dairy foods you not only “buy local” and support area farmers, you buy #PureMichigan quality. ❤️

How can you tell if the gallon of milk was processed in Michigan? ✋ Each container of milk is identified by a 5-digit code. The code includes a 2-digit state code followed by a 3-digit processing plant code. Milk packaged in Michigan is identified by the state code 26.

We are excited to announce our final #MiSchoolFoodHero - Congratulations to Kristine Syzmanski from Coleman Schools! During the pandemic and while floods occurred in her area, Kris worked tirelessly to organize the meal distribution program, ensure staff and volunteers understood their role and assisted with safety protocols. 🌟

“Several towns in our area got hit with a catastrophic flood a few months into the pandemic. It was devastating and they are still dealing with the aftermath,” said Kris. “We made sure the children were properly fed the entire time. They came first at that time and will always continue to be our first priority. There are no measures when it comes to the children in this community."

Superintendent for Coleman Community Schools, Jennifer McCormack, nominated Kris who added, “She always is, but especially in those circumstances, truly outstanding.”
