Episode 08 (Season 2) - Farming & Policy - How to Navigate Farming Regulations
Manage episode 362870026 series 2921089
Farmers in Europe are under pressure. Governments begin to introduce plans to reduce livestock numbers to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
This has led to protests by farmers in The Netherlands and highlighted the conflict between environmental policy and the needs of agriculture and food production.
But how do farmers adapt to these new policies? Could choosing smaller, more feed-efficient breeds be the solution?
To discuss this, we’ll be talking to a cattle breeding expert and farmer from the Netherlands, and a senior breeder and product manager with more than 30 years of experience with Jersey cows.
Guests:
Walter Liebregts, CEO and Owner of Koole & Liebregts
Peter Larson, Product Manager for VikingJersey, at VikingGenetics
