Firstly, more positive news from Chris Walkland on the milk market report this week, then Will & Ben are joined by Ronald Akkerman, co-founder and CEO of Mona Dairy, as well as Hayley Campbell-Gibbons, Kite’s Head of Sustainability, to discuss cheese production and sustainability.

October 13, 2023 Can AHDB deliver more value to dairy farmers with a levy increase?
After Chris’ milk market report this week, Will, Ben and Becki are joined by Lyndon Edwards, AHDB’s Dairy Sector Council Chair and a dairy, beef and arable farmer from near Chepstow. Lyndon outlines how farmer feedback has influenced the sector priorities and delivery over the previous months, including increasing their work on dairy marketing, exports and reputation management and a recent trip to Anuga to promote dairy products across the globe. They discuss the proposed levy increase and how this would enable further work in these areas plus other areas of focus to deliver value back to farm. Lyndon discusses with Becki what they are doing to change the narrative around dairy emissions, reframing the cow as the hero in the story and the need to concentrate on the positive benefits of dairy. They also touch upon the recently appointed five extra agri-food attachés from the government to help boost the UK’s agri-food export and what this could mean for the industry and future of dairy.Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been

September 01, 2023 EP170 : Farmer Time
This Week, Chris delivers his market update from the Netherlands and Ireland and joining him is ‘Farmer Tom’, Tom Martin: Founder of Farmer Time and Lancashire Dairy Farmer: John Towers. Tom developed his idea of linking a farmer with a teacher, anywhere within the UK, to deliver short fortnightly sessions to school children of all ages, relating the academic curriculum to different aspects of farming and food production. As an active Farmer Time participant, John describes his sessions as the highlight of his Week and is passionate about interacting with the children, telling the story of farming, and seeing how his messages are dissected and applied to different topics being covered in school, whether it be Food Technology, Textiles or Animal Biology etc. Farmer Time allows farming to have a positive voice in the education of children (future consumers!) and connecting them with agriculture. The programme is currently being delivered to 2% of school children and Tom wants to take this to 10% but needs 3000 farmers to help him reach this target. Would you be willing to be part of this fantastic scheme? Take a listen and see what you think.
