The Dairy Roadmap is accelerating efforts to support the dairy sector in setting a robust and ambitious strategy on the environment and climate change, helping to secure the long-term future for nutritious and sustainable UK dairy produce.

This work comes in anticipation of both the UN Food System Summit and COP26, events which could have a dramatic impact on the dairy sector nationally and around the world.

The Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers has joined forces with 18 farming bodies to urge the government to remain committed to its trade negotiating objectives as talks reach the final stages with Australia and New Zealand.

The Sloan family will now hold their Gold Cup Open Day on Thursday 5 August 2021, at the farm in Auchinleck, Ayrshire, after the Covid 19 pandemic prevented the event from previously taking place.
