"Australia’s dairy industry is in the middle of a crisis, fuelled by an almost
perfect storm of challenges.
Climate change and extreme weather have been battering farmlands and impacting
animal productivity, creating mounting financial strains and mental health
struggles for many farmers.
Meanwhile, beyond the farm gate, consumer tastes are shifting to a range of
dairy substitutes. Interest and investment in alternative dairy proteins is
accelerating.
Earlier this month, industry figures warned consumers to prepare for price
rises amid expected shortages of milk, butter and cheese. Already mired in
uncertainty, the dairy industry is now being forced to confront some tough
questions about its future head on."
