Arla is set to introduce a sustainability incentive for farmers to help fund and motivate actions required to hit the co-op’s 2030 emission reduction target.

From next year, the milk price that farmers will receive from the co-operative will depend on their activities related to environmental sustainability.

This marks a fundamental change in Arla’s milk price model, which previously paid farmers based on the fat, protein, and quality of the milk.

The dairy co-op has earmarked up to 3 eurocent per kilo of milk for sustainability activities in addition to the existing 1 eurocent for submitting Climate Check data.
