Precision fermented milk’s land footprint was estimated to be as much as 96% lower than that of cow’s milk. Replacing 20%, 50% or 100% of UK-produced cow’s milk with (plant-based) precision fermented milk was estimated to release 859 kilohectare (kha), 2,147 kha or 4,294 kha of land by 2050.

🐄 Precision fermentation (PF) milk has a land footprint up to 96% lower than cow's milk, potentially releasing vast amounts of land.
🌍 Replacing 20%, 50%, or 100% of UK cow's milk with PF milk by 2050 could free up 859, 2,147, or 4,294 kilohare (kha) of land, respectively.
🌳 This released land can contribute significantly to meeting the UK Climate Change Committee's net-zero targets for afforestation, bioenergy, peatland restoration, agroforestry, and hedgerow creation.
