Applied Economics Teaching Resources (AETR), 2026, vol. 8, issue 4

Abstract: This study examines how US dairy processors are responding to the Net Zero Initiative’s (NZI) 2050 goal through semistructured interviews. Findings suggest advancing decarbonization requires harmonized accounting and reporting standards, sustained financial support, and positioning sustainability as an industry baseline rather than market differentiator.
