How can we value milk and other dairy products more highly – and move away from liquid milk being a loss leader for so many businesses? What can we do to give more headspace to those producing our dairy so they can have time to learn from others who are taking progressive steps forward? How can we address tricky issues around lack of flexibility and exclusive contracts?
Our Dairy Project wants to ensure a fair deal for those involved in producing, processing and selling dairy products. We believe that if the people behind our dairy are looked after well and treated decently, this can give more flexibility, freedom and opportunity for them to accelerate the transition to fairer and more ethical dairy – that respects people, animals and the planet.
