"As someone who is passionate about the environment and sustainability, technology is surely impacting things at the farm level in the dairy industry. I love the fact that technology is advancing to the point where we have robotic manure collectors and methane digestors that help reduce emissions. I'd love to hear how the local farmers that Fonterra is working with utilize these technologies."

"Reducing sugars, without leaning on artificial sweeteners, is one exciting trend that I have noticed lately. Consumers want dairy products that offer exceptional taste without the guilt. More consumers are becoming health-conscious and trends such as the keto lifestyle are leading the way in these demands. The statistics show that dairy consumption is still strong and this innovation like you're doing here at Fonterra is very exciting to be a part of."
