The Growing Costs of Dairy Farming | Resilient Farms in Germany

Ute von der Lieth

Marie was a young dairy farmer in Sauerland, Germany, but due to increasing costs and expenses of dairy production, she chose to give up her dairy cows and refocus on other agricultural practices, including community supported agriculture. We visited her family farm, Tiggeshof, to hear more about her story.
