You will be surprised to discover that the variety of the Dutch dairy systems not only include high-tech high-input farms with annual production of over 10 thousand litres of milk per cows but also farms with local breeds, goats called by name and the only commercial camel dairy farm in Europe. We will discover how a farmers develop and adopt innovation based on their own preferences, moving between conventional and organic, on farm processing or fluid milk, short chains for local market versus industrial value chains and export.
