EuroDairy is a new international network which aims to increase the economic, social and environmental sustainability of dairy farming in Europe, at a time of unprecedented challenge for the sector.
Funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme, EuroDairy will foster the development and dissemination of practice-based innovation in dairy farming, targeting key sustainability issues following the abolition of milk quotas: socio-economic resilience, resource efficiency, animal care, and the integration of milk production with biodiversity objectives.
EuroDairy spans 14 countries, from Ireland to Poland, and from Sweden to Italy, encompassing 40% of dairy farmers, 45% of cows and 60% of European milk output. AgriSearch is a partner in EuroDairy and Jason Rankin will speak about how AgriSearch will seek to use its involvement in EuroDairy to benefit local dairy farmers.
