Brazil is the 4th biggest milk producer in the world, providing 33.8 billion litres every year. Still, Brazilian milk productivity is among the lowest, with the average dairy cow only giving 5 litres of milk per day.
Together with the SEBRAE-MG, a government-linked agency that supports and encourages small businesses and agrofarmers to improve their management methods, Danone aims to change this.
Teaching technical and financial management through Educampo
A lack of financial or technical management is often holding farmers back. They are operating on outdated or wrong information given to them by previous generations of dairy farmers.
Educampo is a learning programme through which farmers can gain new insights and knowledge, financial management skills and technical knowhow.
Empowering dairy farmers
Professional management systems increase profitability, milk quality and animal productivity. It also results in a reduction of yearly emissions by 1800 tons of CO2.
Educampo shows farmers that they have to treat milk production as a business. They learn management skills, find out which KPI’s to check up on, and how they can technically improve the milk quality per cow.
