Arla and Müller uniting in the partnership, all 400 of Tesco’s Sustainable Dairy Group (TSDG) farmers across the UK will be part of the initiative
Tesco and its 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 launch of the Future Dairy Partnership marks a significant step towards uniting the dairy industry to accelerate the reduction of emissions, farm in harmony with nature and commit to higher animal welfare standards.
With climate change already impacting food production in the UK, uncertainty regarding the future of the dairy industry is leading to a reduced supply of milk and has the potential to affect food security. To tackle these issues, Tesco, Arla and Müller have pledged to bring together organisations from across the dairy industry to reduce on-farm emissions by 30 per cent by 2030.
With both Arla and Müller uniting in the partnership, all 400 of Tesco’s Sustainable Dairy Group (TSDG) farmers across the UK will be part of the initiative. The suppliers and retailers are also broadening the partnership by reaching out to other organisations across the dairy industry for input and support.
