« Dairy-4-Future » project 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 1

Context: dairy industry important! o 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,…) o Good soil and climatic conditions for fodder production and grazing: one of the more favorable areas of the World to produce milk o Dairy industry is ambitious and shows important growth objectives : +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 o Improving cost-efficiency and economic resilience of dairy farms: milk production is rather oriented dairy commodities, subject to greater volatility o 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) o A milk producers generational renewal, with need to strengh attractiveness of dairy farming o Expected increase of size of dairy farms needs to improve work efficiency and human resource management Dairy-4-Future project 3

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: o Improve cooperation between public, private and research actors to foster innovation and transnational cohesion o Encourage innovation by transnational collaboration o Create a better cooperation between firms, social organizations and R&D bodies Dairy-4-Future: one of the 42 projects accepted on 102 full projects and 408 4 Expression of Interest

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 12
