Dairy farming in the European Union is undergoing rapid and profound changes that are putting an enormous pressure on farmers and dairy cattle alike. The increasing industrialisation of the sector poses many challenges to the survival of small-scale farmers and jeopardises animal welfare. The seminar will highlight some of these challenges and will also present successful and inspiring examples of solutions found by dairy farmers to reconciliate profitability with consumer expectations concerning animal welfare.
