Nurturing
possibility.
Developing livestock farming as part of a sustainable system that supports food production, learning and long-term opportunity.
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.
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.
Every part
matters.
Animal Care
Maintaining appropriate care and attention for the animals within the project.
Feeding
Establishing reliable feeding practices to support healthy livestock.
Production
Developing a consistent system for dairy production and responsible use.
A farm can
teach more
than farming.
Contributing to food production within the home.
Creating opportunities to learn practical livestock management.
Supporting Shelter's wider sustainability goals.
Growing
with purpose.
As the project develops, Shelter can continue strengthening its livestock systems and exploring opportunities for greater sustainability and impact.
