Organic dairy products
 Cow's
milk or indeed the milk of any creature is an ideal environmental indicator
for registering the level of pollutants and pesticides in the environment.
Why? Because what goes in the mouth of a cow gets processed into large
quantities of milk. If its on the grass it's going to end up in your pint
of milk.
Beyond this four main factors have led to the increasing interest by
farmers and consumers in organic dairy farming:
-
consumer concerns about food safety and animal welfare
-
overproduction of food (perceived as low in quality)
-
the environmental effects of intensive farming
-
the premium milk price and expanding market for organic milk products
As milk is a major contributor to our diet in the guises of butter, cheese,
yoghurt and iceream many peploe are now concerned about the quality of
this staple foodstuff.
There have been reports that organic milk production has reached such
a level in the UK that supply has actually outstripped demand resulting
in organic milk being sold as non-organic. This is most likely to be a
temporary regional aberation.
