Improving Energy Efficiency on dairy farms through LED lighting, energy-efficient equipment, and solar installations reduces farm's carbon footprint and decreases energy costs.

Nutrient Management Planning ensures the appropriate use of fertilizers and manure to meet crop needs without excess. This reduces nutrient runoff into waterways and decreases the use of synthetic fertilizers.

Manure Management includes methods like composting and anaerobic digestion to handle waste. Environmental benefits include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved soil fertility, and minimized water pollution.

Precision Feeding is the practice of optimizing the diet of dairy cows to meet their nutritional needs accurately. This leads to reduced feed waste, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and better manure management.

Agroforestry is the integration of trees and shrubs into farm landscapes. It provides shade and shelter for animals, reduces carbon footprint by sequestering carbon, and diversifies farm income.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) uses a variety of ecological methods to control pests with minimal use of chemicals. This reduces the harmful impact of pesticides on the environment and promotes a healthier ecosystem.

Cover Cropping involves planting crops to cover the soil in between periods of regular crop production. Benefits include reduced soil erosion, improved soil health, and providing a habitat for beneficial insects and organisms.

Rotational Grazing involves moving livestock between pastures to allow for regrowth of grasses. This practice benefits the environment by reducing soil erosion, enhancing soil quality, and promoting biodiversity.

Water Conservation practices such as recycling water for multiple uses and installing efficient irrigation systems help preserve water resources and reduce the farm's environmental impact.
