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

as sustainably as possible, with respect

for the planet, people and animals.
