this initiative, dairy suppliers will receive 0.5 cents per litre (cpl) (including VAT) through delivering specific sustainability actions. This equated to almost €3,000 in 2022 for the average supplier.

Across the lifetime of this three-year programme, a total of over €54 million will be made available to family farms as they continue to adopt a range of actions. The measures are closely aligned with the climate action measures identified in Teagasc’s emissions reduction Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) climate plan. This initiative is designed to reward milk suppliers for adopting a series of measures identified as key to delivering on our comprehensive sustainability strategy, Living Proof. As part of this initiative, there is a strong framework of measures for farmers to implement with verifiable proof points.
