The investment will enable Aldi to support Arla’s FarmAhead Customer Partnership, a new initiative aimed at supporting farmers’ ongoing efforts to drive reductions in on-farm emissions
Aldi has announced plans to invest over £30 million in dairy farmers over the next three and a half years, through an enhanced partnership with Arla, the UK’s biggest dairy cooperative.
This extended partnership, set to run until the middle of 2027, will provide additional support to Arla’s farm owners, ensuring a greater focus on sustainability and animal welfare practices.
The investment will enable Aldi to support Arla’s FarmAhead Customer Partnership, a new initiative aimed at supporting farmers’ ongoing efforts to drive reductions in on-farm emissions. Through this programme, Aldi will partner in farming projects and innovations that aim to accelerate more sustainable farming practices and decarbonise dairy.
Aldi has also increased its investment in the Aldi Dairy Farm Partnership (ADFP) programme to cover 100 per cent of Arla’s Fresh Milk supply, which extended its support for British farms from 25 to over 150.
Liz Fox, National Sustainability Director at Aldi UK, said: “At Aldi, our commitment to responsible sourcing is at the heart of everything we do. Our strengthened partnership with Arla allows us to better support farmers while driving positive change in the UK’s dairy sector.
“This investment reflects our long-standing relationship with Arla and our dedication to delivering high-quality dairy products to our customers.”
