1. Cutting Emissions in Turkish Dairies (CSAb)
Dairy production accounts for 4 per cent of Turkey’s GHG emissions. South Pole Group is exploring innovative new technologies and interventions to cut emissions within Turkey’s dairy supply chain as part of a global study, funded by Unilever. Pilot solutions span dietary supplements and breeding techniques, to manure management, the integration of more renewable energy and efficient machinery.
IMPACT: GHG mitigation, sustainable food production, climate impact
STAGE: working with Climate-KIC flagship Climate Smart Agriculture Booster since 2016 to establish and run a pilot in Konya in 2017.
SCALE: evaluation will suggest scaleable solutions, identify CSA technologies best suited to Turkey and contribute to global knowledge- sharing of findings within the global dairy sector to tackle climate change
o Dairy production is responsible for four percent of global manmade greenhouse gas emissions 
o A team led by South Pole Group, funded by Climate-KIC’s CSA Booster Flagship Project, is exploring ways to reduce emissions in the dairy supply chain of a major cocoa producer 
o Using the CSA Booster’s experience and network of experts, the project will identify and pilot technologies and practices in a handful of markets around the world 
o Once these approaches are tested and fine-tuned, the company will be able to scale up its investment in emission reduction along its extensive dairy supply chain
