Athian announced it will distribute over $9 million to livestock producers from the sale of verified Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions to food companies. These reductions were achieved through sustainability practices such as improved feed ingredients and alternative manure management programs on U.S. dairy farms in 2024.
Athian’s platform connects food companies with sustainable producers, allowing them to meet their Scope 3 emission targets while financially rewarding farmers. Since the first verified reductions were sold in January 2024, Athian has expanded its protocols, with more expected in 2025.
The company is partnering with dairy processors and cooperatives to reduce the environmental impact of dairy products. It also plans to expand into beef cattle in 2025, demonstrating verified reductions in meat supply chains. Athian continues evolving to meet customer needs, integrating new technologies and protocols to improve sustainability across the livestock industry.
