By 2050, the world population will rise to nearly 9 billion people, doubling the demand for food at a time when a changing environment is creating new limits to supply, resources and biodiversity. According to DeLaval, meeting this challenge requires looking at food production in a completely new way, demanding individuals and companies to add their efforts.
DeLaval believes it is time to look at things differently; time to make sustainable food production possible.

"These global food challenges will certainly impact North American dairy producers. Already today we see a business environment that is defined by scale and efficiency," said Christian Poggensee, Regional President of North America for DeLaval Inc.
He continued: "For DeLaval, innovating new solutions that support the improvement of farm efficiency, profitability and sustainability will continue to be at the forefront of what we do. We've made this apparent by investing in decision-making tools and automation technologies like the advanced milk analysis tool, Herd Navigator; the latest stand-alone robot for rotary parlors, DeLaval teat spray robot TSR; and the all-encompassing farm management system, DelPro Farm Manager."
According to DeLaval, improving the health of the herd with advanced hygiene products and consumables is also essential to preserving the dairy business. The social dimension is equally important, including the need to reduce the necessity of physically demanding work on the farm.
