As the dairy sector looks towards more sustainable ways of producing milk, an important question remains: how can the transition ensure that animal welfare is not overlooked?

In the latest episode of the TransformDairyNet Video Interview Series, Daniela Haager, Insights Senior Specialist at FOUR PAWS, shares her perspective on keeping animals’ needs at the centre of discussions about the future of dairy farming.

FOUR PAWS is an international animal welfare organisation and a partner in the TransformDairyNet project. As the only NGO actively involved in the project, it contributes an animal welfare perspective to discussions on the development of more sustainable and welfare-oriented dairy farming practices.

Recorded in Bucharest, Romania, during a recent TransformDairyNet European Knowledge and Innovation Network (EKIN) meeting, the interview explores how animal welfare organisations can contribute to the dairy sector’s transformation and help ensure that the needs of cows and calves are considered alongside broader sustainability goals.
