Sustainability is embedded in the work of young dairy farmers in Europe as
they implement sustainable practices every day on their farms. These practices
are crucial if they want their farm to remain prof itable and their animals and
soils in good health, while keeping the dynamic of the local community. That is a
prerequisite if they want to transmit the farm later to the next generation.
They have their own vision and strategy adapted to the specif icity of their farm
and the local conditions. This diversity is a richness for
Europe as it is key for resilience and for the identity of local
communities.
Dairy farmers in Europe are on the right track and are
willing to engage the discussion with consumers and to
take part in sustainable food systems in Europe.
Conclusion
Continuing to shape the future
for the European dairy sector
