The dairy industry relies on milk production from cows (and other animals) and some people have their personal reservations about the industry in general. If they're going to seriously consider you to join the Fonterra team, your interviewer needs to be assured that you can handle the realities that come with farming and milk production.

"No, I would have no concerns whatsoever. I have been very close to farming throughout my entire life, with my grandparents running a very successful rural dairy farm. I look forward to continuing the family tradition in a new way here at Fonterra."

"I am very much an advocate for the safe and humane treatment of animals. I loved reading about the fact that Fonterra has a dedicated team that focuses on animal welfare and that you have a defined set of standards that discuss the use of antibiotics, growth hormones, and close confinement. I'm very confident that I would be on board with all work policies and processes here."

This is hopefully a personal question that you considered even prior to applying for a job at Fonterra because the day-to-day life there isn't for everyone. As you answer, you ideally want to reiterate that you do not have any concerns about working in the dairy industry and that you actually embrace it. A great way to solidify your answer here is by talking about the processes and work that Fonterra has been doing to ensure the safe treatment of animals, which can be found on their website.
