D 5.5 Policy outlining options for supporting farmers to improve animal health

The IMPRO project developed a novel farm level diagnostic approach towards improving animal health on organic dairy farms. This participatory approach, including the necessary tools, has been shown to be well-received by dairy farmers and their advisors. Given the difference in expectations of consumers and the reality of a high level of production diseases on organic dairy farms, a wider implementation of the IMPRO approach is recommended. The EU Commission, National governments, dairy processors, retailers and organic stakeholders should all play a role in further work suited to improve the currently unsatisfying situation.
