Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit

The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) has conducted an analysis revealing significant impacts of climate factors on the dairy industry. The ECIU analysis identified a notable event where record temperatures coincided with the largest single-day drops in farm milk deliveries since 2008.

Despite these findings, the ECIU clarified that this situation did not amount to a national supply crisis. However, they suggested that extreme heat could pose as significant a risk to dairy production as severe cold, underscoring the potential challenges the industry might face due to climate variations.
