Happy Cows Milk Program

Portuguese House of Sustainability

Casa Mendes Gonçalves Project Issue of Social Bonds

The Happy Cows Milk Program was born as a strategic response to the crisis in the Azorean dairy sector and the evolution of the consumer, who is increasingly attentive to the origin of food, animal welfare and environmental impact. The program redefined the model of milk production in Portugal, creating value throughout the chain - from meadow to plate - based on the preservation of the Azores' natural capital and the prosperity of local producers. Based on five structuring pillars - pasture 365 days a year, animal welfare, food quality and safety, sustainable production and rewarded producers - the PLVF has raised standards, creating a new market category (pasture milk).
