Turning grass into milk: Why cows are real power plants

A cow is a real power plant! From water, grass, hay, and other fodder, the cow produces a valuable foodstuff full of energy: milk. But there's a lot more to producing a glass of milk than that! In this lecture, Professor Julia Steinhoff-Wagner explains what happens in a cow's body and shows us how much energy and which resources are needed for feed and animal husbandry, for example. She also explores an important question in her research and in this lecture: how can we make the dairy industry more sustainable? Free entry.
