Australian dairy milk consumption has declined from 100 liters per person annually in 2015 to 85 liters by 2025, while plant-based milk purchases have grown among the 42% of Australians who buy them. Plant-based options including soy, oat, and almond produce lower greenhouse gas emissions than dairy milk, though almond requires the most water and all plant-based alternatives involve more processing steps than pasteurized cow's milk.
