Danone & EDF’s Partnership to Reduce Methane in Dairy Supply Chains

Climate Rising

Show Notes

Large corporations play a critical role in addressing climate change—but transforming complex global supply chains is no small task.

This episode, originally from the Invested in Climate podcast hosted by Jason Rissman, features a conversation with Katie Anderson of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Chris Adamo of Danone. It explores how a major food company and a nonprofit partner are working together to reduce methane emissions in dairy supply chains.

The discussion examines why methane has become a priority in agricultural climate strategies, how Danone became the first food company to set a methane-specific target, and what it takes to implement change across thousands of farms globally. The episode also highlights the role of financing, public policy, and cross-sector collaboration in scaling regenerative agriculture practices.

More broadly, the conversation offers a real-world look at how climate action is increasingly tied to business continuity, supply chain resilience, and long-term value creation.
