Tesco and milk suppliers Arla and Müller UK & Ireland have joined forces to launch a farmer-led partnership which aims to put sustainability at the heart of the dairy industry.The Future Dairy Partnership is aiming to unite the dairy industry to accelerate reduction of emissions, farm in harmony with nature and commit to higher animal welfare standards.
The uniting of Arla and Müller, both of which have a strong presence in Shropshire, means all 400 of Tesco’s Sustainable Dairy Group farmers across the UK will be part of the initiative. “What’s clear is that to achieve our stretching climate and nature goals, we must work together as an industry to implement transformational improvements at pace, so we’re delighted to be partnering with Arla and Muller on this project. It’s critical we continue to ensure farmers play a pivotal role in this work, and we look forward to working with them as the work of the partnership is established.
