Diffuser les innovations pour un élevage laitier plus résilient dans l’Espace Atlantique Propagating innovations for more resilient dairy farming in the Atlantic area

• A. Le Gall

Interreg Atlantic Area - EAPA_304/2016

Context: dairy industry important!

• Dairy farming: a major economic activity in the Atlantic Area
• About 20 % of milk production in Europe-28
• 80 000 dairy farms and 100 000 dairy farmers and employees
• 70 000 employees in the dairy industry
• Several large dairy industries (Lactalis, Sodiaal, Glanbia,

Savencia,…)

• Good soil and climatic conditions for fodder production and

grazing: one of the more favorable areas of the World to produce

milk

• Dairy industry is ambitious and shows important growth
• bjectives: +50% in Ireland from 2010 to 2020, +20% in the west of

France from 2015 to 2020

Dairy-4-Future project 2

Dairy sector is facing several challenges

Dairy-4-Future project 3

• Improving cost-efficiency and economic resilience of dairy

farms: milk production is rather oriented dairy commodities, subject to greater volatility

• A more efficient use of resources (feed, water,…) and control of

environmental impacts: dairy sector has to cope with national commitments about GHG (COP 21, COP 23)

• A milk producers generational renewal, with need to strengh

attractiveness of dairy farming

• Expected increase of size of dairy farms needs to improve work

efficiency and human resource management

Interreg Atlantic Area Program (2014-2020)

Programme priority: 1. Stimulating innovation and

competitiveness

Programme specific objective1.2: Strengthening the transfer of

innovation results to facilitate the emergence of new products, services and processes

Objectives:

• Improve cooperation between public, private and research

actors to foster innovation and transnational cohesion

• Encourage innovation by transnational collaboration
• Create a better cooperation between firms, social organizations

and R&D bodies

Concept of Dairy-4-Future project

One of the most favorable area in the world to produce milk (soils, climates, people, skills,…)

Potential for more milk with low inputs (legumes vs fertilisers, forage vs concentrates), smart dairy farming (grazing, GMO free), low environmental footprint (low GHG, C. sequestration by grassland, low pesticides, biodiversity…)

Distinctions (production differentiation strategies of dairy products for more value) Value for dairy farmers, dairy industry and dairy regions of Atlantic Area

Dairy-4-Future project 25

A network of 100 innovative dairy farms

What pilot farms and farmers?

• Motivated dairy farmers, open for exchanges
• Innovated dairy farms, examples for dairy farming of tomorrow
• Dairy farms with good technical, economical and environmental (N

balance, C footprint) performances

• Pilot dairy farms are not are necessarily representative of average

dairy farms

• If possible, dairy farms close to experimental farms, which are testing

innovative dairy systems, in order to have exchanges between pilot farms and experimental farms

• If possible, dairy farms related to production differentiation approach

with dairy groups

Dairy-4-Future and EuroDairy

• Common points

– Both projects focus on innovation and demonstration of best practice in dairy – Both have pilot farms (120 and 100 respectively) – Two themes are common (Resource efficiency and socio-economic resilience). Four - if you add in welfare and biodiversity which were mentioned in latest versions of D4F ! – Modus operandi - seminars, exchange visits, some of the methodologies, mentio

• f operational groups all common to EuroDairy

– Many partners are common to both

• Main differences

– Dairy-4-Future is tackling more strategic issues in relation to regional development of the industry in the AA region (hence the regional analysis, emphasis on appropriate policy making, long-term link to market conditions and signals, specific environmental concerns pertinent to the region) – Has a greater component of research – Is more top down than bottom up (hence production of blue prints)
