In this episode of the Hoard’s Dairyman Podcast, host Jenna Byrne sits down with Dr. Frank Mitloehner, professor and air quality specialist at UC Davis, to discuss the future of dairy sustainability and the evolving conversation around methane emissions.

Drawing on decades of research in animal agriculture and environmental science, Mitloehner explains the differences between methane and carbon dioxide, the role dairy farms play in climate discussions, and why he believes producers are uniquely positioned to be part of the solution. He shares insights on emerging technologies, carbon markets, and how sustainability efforts can create both environmental and economic opportunities for dairy operations.

The conversation also explores consumer perceptions of dairy, the importance of producer engagement, and what the next decade may hold for animal agriculture. From practical methane-reduction strategies to broader industry trends, Mitloehner offers a forward-looking perspective on how dairy producers can adapt, innovate, and prepare for the future.
