THE IDEA

Building a system
that gives back.

Dairy farming is part of Shelter's approach to developing sustainable livelihood initiatives around the home.

Beyond the immediate value of livestock production, the project provides an opportunity to develop practical knowledge around animal care, farm management and responsible resource use.

THE FARM SYSTEM

Care,
consistency,
growth.

A productive dairy operation depends on a series of connected activities. Animal care, feeding, hygiene, monitoring and responsible farm management all play a role in creating a sustainable system.
