The disparity in dairy production between American and African cows highlights a significant issue known as the "dairy divide," with American cows producing 30 liters daily compared to just 1.6 liters in Africa. Closing this gap could alleviate poverty, improve nutrition, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
