Rethinking Dairy for Animals, People and the Planet

Speaker's Corner

What does it look like to truly do dairy differently? This session brings together pioneering dairy farmers who are transforming milk production—from keeping cows and calves together to regenerating soils and building resilient farming businesses. Combining stories from farmers committed to cow-calf dairying with those on the regenerative journey, we’ll explore the moral, ecological, and economic motivations behind these bold shifts in practice. Alongside these stories, we’ll share emerging evidence and data that highlight the real-world benefits—both financial and environmental—of rethinking dairy.
