Carbon and Cow$ Podcast

The Carbon and Cow$ Podcast is a CSANR-hosted podcast series focused on emerging opportunities and risks in carbon markets as they relate to dairy and livestock production. The series examines how regulated and voluntary carbon programs, greenhouse gas reduction pressures, and evolving market incentives may affect on-farm decision-making.

Episodes draw on perspectives from academia, industry, and the public sector to provide producers with grounded, practical information to evaluate participation in carbon-related programs. Topics include carbon offsets, low-carbon fuel pathways, manure management strategies, and considerations surrounding anaerobic digester installation, with attention to both project development and long-term economic viability.

The podcast is designed to help producers understand the technical, economic, and policy factors shaping carbon market participation, rather than promoting specific practices or programs. Content is available through major podcast platforms and is intended for producers, advisors, and professionals seeking clear, research-informed context around carbon markets and livestock systems.
