U.S. barley industry launches project to baseline production impact
The American Malting Barley Association (AMBA) Sustainability Committee has officially launched their Baselining Barley project, which is the first industry-wide collaborative effort to articulate the environmental impact of barley production. As a result of this work, a data monitoring tool will be developed to track continuous improvement throughout the industry. The need for such an effort has been a leading priority for many AMBA member companies who are seeking to achieve various sustainability related goals. This work complements other efforts of the committee, which is also exploring alternative nitrogen sources and strategies and exploring ways to better communicate sustainable attributes of barley varieties.
