DairyCo to sponsor Carbon and Farming conference DairyUK



DairyCo will this year sponsor the Carbon and Farming Conference organised by Dairy UK on 22nd June to make it an event held jointly by the two organisations.

Speaking about DairyCo’s involvement in the event Jim Begg, Director General of Dairy UK said: ’We’re pleased with DairyCo’s commitment to this conference. This shows how industry organisations can work together to address issues of concern to the whole sector. We’ve run conferences on Farming and the Environment every year for three years and we look forward to working with DairyCo to put on a truly exceptional event for this year.’

Ken Boyns, DairyCo Sector Director said: ’The challenge of addressing the industry’s carbon footprint is going to become more pressing in the future. The conference is an ideal vehicle to raise the profile of the issue and to demonstrate that the solutions available to the industry are fully in tune with a continuing drive towards efficiency. It should be an event of great interest to farmers and the industry as whole.’
