In episode 297 of the Kite Podcast, Will Evans and Ben Eagle are joined by Rob Daykin from Daykin Partnership, Shropshire farmer Tim Downes, event host and Leicestershire farmer Will Armitage and Dorset farmer Sophie Gregory, as well as podcast producer Becki Reay. They discuss the evolution of the organic dairy sector, and the upcoming organic dairy conference run by the Organic Dairy Round Table, taking place in Leicestershire next week. The Organic Dairy Roundtable has been key in bringing farmers, processors, and retailers together around a shared goal of promoting organic dairy. It creates space for open, honest discussions and constructive challenge. As chair Sophie Gregory highlights, the focus is on giving the sector a voice, direction and turning conversations into real action. The episode dives deep into the state of the organic dairy market, which has seen fluctuations over the years. Will Armitage explains how the Roundtable has helped the sector respond to market signals and make sure farmers are heard. A big theme throughout is the need for farmers to work together to tackle market challenges. No milk market update from Chris Walkland this week.
