Working on green energy

Jesper’s ambition does not stop at feed.

"At the moment, currently all our manure goes to biogas

production, and we are also exploring new avenues such as

pyrolysis and biogenic CO

2

. Everyone knows that we have

a need in Europe to produce gas ourselves – a large part

of which can be perfectly produced by farms. In the future

I hope to install solar panels with a battery on my farm so

that we can also produce our own electricity."

Smart innovation with data

"We supply milk to the dairy cooperative Arla. We work

with Arla’s FarmAhead™ Check tool, which allows us to

measure the environmental impact of the farm and help

decrease our CO

2

emission. Arla also works with f inancial

incentives for every sustainable measure we apply. That

motivates us to work on our emissions, which we mitigate

by focusing strongly on feed ef f iciency throughout the

value chain. We avoid so much potential waste by working

with a databased feed management software that

allows us to accurately calculate

how much feed is needed for each

individual cow. All feed is analysed

before it goes to the silos. Thanks

to this approach combined with

other initiatives on our farm, we

are at 0.87 kg CO

2

equivalent per

kilo energy-adjusted milk."
