California Dairy Sustainability Summit Returns March 2026
he California Dairy Sustainability Summit is set to return to the Visalia Convention Center on March 24, 2026, bringing together leaders from across the dairy community. Since its debut in 2018, the Summit has highlighted California dairies’ world-leading achievements while promoting what the organizers call “planet-smart” farming practices. This one-day event will once again focus on innovative, practical solutions as dairy farm families work toward long-term sustainability.
According to Dairy Cares, one of the Summit’s co-hosts, California’s dairy farms are on track to reach climate neutrality in just a few years. Thanks to substantial public and private investment, dairies across the state have already reduced methane emissions by an impressive 5 million metric tons annually. The Summit will celebrate this progress while exploring new opportunities for environmental leadership, economic viability, and community well-being.
The event is co-hosted by Dairy Cares, the California Dairy Research Foundation, California Milk Advisory Board, California Dairy Quality Assurance Program, and the Dairy Council of California.
