Dairy cows grazing on green grassland in a hilly production region

From technology to real supply chains.

MilkWays develops practical supply chains around real production regions, processors and markets.

Long-term, repeatable milk corridors.

The objective is not simply to prove that milk can be transported. The objective is to create long-term, repeatable milk corridors.

Scotland → Continental Europe

Scotland combines substantial grass resources with favourable conditions for grass-based dairy farming. MilkWays can connect these production regions with dairy processors in markets such as the Netherlands and continental Europe.

Our Scotland-to-Netherlands analysis illustrates the fundamental principle:

~20 gCO₂e per kg of milk for transport
~1,000 gCO₂e per kg of milk for production

The location of production matters more than the distance travelled.

Extended shelf life creates opportunities to supply fresh milk and fresh milk concentrate over distances that conventional fresh-milk logistics cannot easily serve.

The corridor demonstrates how existing dairy regions can supply processors in more distant milk-deficit markets.

Milk as a buffer

More than 100 days of shelf life does more than extend transport distance.

It creates time. Milk can become a buffer between seasonal production, processor requirements and market demand.

From just-in-time milk to strategically available milk.
