Economic, competitiveness, resilience, sustainability, resource efficiency, environemental footprint... How can the dairy sector in the Atlatic Area meet the major chalenges it is already facing? These ara the majorr challenges that the Dairy-4-future project had deployed in 5 countries and 12 regions of the Atlantic Area between 2018 and 2022. Find in this edition of the "Dossiers Technique de l'Elevage" the main results and lessons learnt from this project.

L'Espace Atlantique dispose de nombreux atouts territoriaux pour la production laitière : conditions pédoclimatiques idéales, paysage, infrastructures et capacités de transformation, population agricole nombreuse et qualifiée, soutenue par des organismes de recherche et d'innovation performants.

Milk production in this area is oriented to dairy commodities and ingredients for export and subject to price volatility. Furthermore, the COP21 sets out to mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases, while forage and grass production is being affected by climate change.

From Scotland to the Azores, the Dairy4Future project aimed to increase the competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience of dairy farms in the Atlantic Area. Its objective was to identify, evaluate and then propagate innovative practices to European dairy advisors and farmers through transnational seminars or farm open days, publications, videos, or training tools.

Le projet a placé les agriculteurs innovants au centre des travaux de recherche basés sur la pratique et a combiné plusieurs méthodes pour adapter et développer les connaissances scientifiques, ce qui conduira à des solutions techniques et des recommandations à partager à travers le réseau.
