Its aim is to find better ways of working in the face of unpredictable future societal, environmental and climate change. With the UK having the tenth largest dairy sector in the world, the project integrates the latest social, economic, natural, and veterinary science with the expertise of farmers and the dairy industry. By devising and testing innovations, the goal is to increase the resilience and sustainability of dairy farming in a rapidly changing world.
This project explores the trade-offs between farmers’ livelihoods, the natural environment and the stable supply of reasonably priced dairy products.
