"Latte Nobile": sustainable dairy model in Sardinia
Sustainable organic farming in Sardinia: restoring pastures, enhancing milk quality, and ensuring traceability through the Latte Nobile model
or
Detail description
In Sardinia, Italy, a farmer transitioned to organic farming to improve raw milk quality and reduce erosion by halting conventional tillage and fertilization. He restored semi-natural grasslands, implemented rotational grazing, and supplemented sheep diets with local pulses, grains, and lucerne hay. Producing 40,000 litres of milk annually from 200 sheep, he joined the 'Latte Nobile' model, ensuring traceability, technical support, brand recognition, and premium pricing. The model mandates at least 70% pasture-derived dry matter and prohibits silage, promoting biodiversity and sustainable management.
