Organic Milk Production in the Nordic countries
Welcome to the 9th annual network meeting, 10‑11 September 2024, in Hässleholm, Sweden!
Are you an advisor working with or being interested in organic milk production? Now, you have the opportunity to exchange knowledge with colleagues from the other Nordic countries.
The location for the meeting
The location for the meeting is hotel Statt Hässleholm with surroundings. The meeting will start on Tuesday morning with a study tour to three different organic dairy farms. On Wednesday the meeting will be in Hässleholm and will finish at 15.00.
The seminar language is English.
The theme of the meeting
The meeting theme is “Sustainable organic dairy production: Climate, biodiversity, seminatural pastures and cow-calf systems”.
On Tuesday we will visit local organic dairy farms to see how they work with climate prevention and adaptation and seminatural pastures. We will also visit one farm with cow-calf systems. A presentation will be held by Sigrid Agenäs at SLU, about research in cow-calf systems and the knowledge centre SustAinimal, with focus on the production animals' future role.
Read more about the farms
You can read more below about the three farms that we will visit.
On Wednesday we will dig deeper into the subject. We will hear about climate- and sustainability calculations, and the connection between climate and biodiversity. We will also discuss ecosystem services and how farms can adapt to a changing climate, and also how to use less soya in the feed ration.
As a bonus it will be possible to visit a field-trial area with different grass- and legume seed mixtures on Monday evening, departure 16.30 from Hässleholm.
