Dutch Dairy Student Challenge (DDSC)
Challenge Based Learning course EWUU Alliance
The EWUU alliance is organising some Challenge Based Learning courses (challenges) that will start in February 2025. During these courses, students from various disciplines will work together and with societal partners on current problems from the business world or society.
The rapid growth and development of the Dutch dairy industry has brought a lot of challenges. These are related to the influence on our landscape, the pressure on biodiversity, the reduction of emissions and the improvement of animal welfare. The transition to a sustainable dairy industry that respects animals and the environment is a complex endeavour that will require all involved parties to cooperate and work together across disciplines.
In an inter-disciplinary team students will be working on the question:
‘How can dairy farms still exist in the future, in a healthy, sustainable and economically feasible way, from the perspective of the animals, the environment, as well as the farmers?’
