Pasture grazed cows
New Zealand has many natural advantages to enable organic dairy production as nature intended. A temperate climate, abundant rainfall and year-round grass growth.
A unique feature of Fonterra’s organic farming systems in New Zealand is that cows have the opportunity to graze pasture 365 days a year. Just as organic consumers expect.
This is unlike organic dairy production in many other parts of the world that rely on feeding concentrates and housing the animals inside for much of the year.
