This booklet explains the significance of a product's carbon footprint, identifies sources of greenhouse gases in the cheese-making process, and suggests ways that cheesemakers and consumers can reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to cheese. The publication also includes a step-by-step worksheet to help producers calculate the carbon footprint of their cheese (28 pages; 2011).
