Biodiversity is one of four themes being addressed within the EuroDairy project. Across Europe, biodiversity is generally being lost from farmland. This represents both a challenge and an opportunity for the dairy industry, to play its role in preserving or enhancing biodiversity features.

Two workshops were convened with farmers, advisors, researchers and policymakers to discuss how to promote practices and measures which improve biodiversity.

The first workshop was hosted by EuroDairy partner, Teagasc, at Moorepark, on 6 December. This complemented a second workshop, organised in the Rhone Alpes by French EuroDairy partner CNIEL, on 12 December 2018.
