Four dairy farmers. Four regions. One mission: shaping the agriculture of tomorrow. 

In North, Central/East, South, and West Netherlands, four progressive dairy farmers stand out as ambassadors, serving as the face of our campaign. What connects them? They combine grazing with automatic milking, a challenge that requires craftsmanship, innovation, and smart business management.

Sharing knowledge and inspiring

As drivers of change, they play an active role in study groups within the practical network. They share knowledge, inspire colleagues, and demonstrate how modern technology and grazing can go hand in hand.

To enhance their impact, the ambassadors receive an exclusive workshop in storytelling and communication. A true booster for empowerment, enabling them to convey their story with confidence and conviction.

Four regional groups of approximately 8 dairy farmers who meet three times a year to share practical experiences, discuss case studies, and gather input for research topics. These groups are largely led by the ambassadors in conjunction with the participants themselves and with organizational support from NAJK.

The project ‘Robot & Grazing? For each other!’ is an initiative of the Working Group Meerweiden and is carried out by NAJK, Aeres University of Applied Sciences, and Network GRONDig.
