Description
Australian dairy farmers are fighting to reclaim the term milk for cows products, as a court ruling presents an opportunity. Meanwhile, a historic Queensland plant will close, paving the way for new development. Mergers are reshaping the industry, with the ACCC approving a tie-up between two major processors. Globally, Lactalis is eyeing a buyout of Fonterra, which could make it Australias largest dairy player. Farmers are grappling with droughts, floods, and low prices, while women in the industry are adapting to stay afloat. On a positive note, an 86-year-old farmer won a Dairy Science Award, and Golden North Ice Cream is moving its factory for better access to milk suppliers. Public health experts warn against promoting raw milk, while innovative products like high-protein ice cream for palliative care patients show resilience in the face of challenges.
