We’re starting the year by sharing knowledge and innovation in the agricultural and livestock sector. In this latest informative piece, we’ll be looking at the role of Campoastur is part of the Climalact Operational Group, a project aimed at promoting climate action in dairy production.
In this video, we explain what the project involves, what its objectives are, and how we are working to move towards a more sustainable production model that is committed to the environment.
The Campoastur cooperative is an Asturian agricultural and livestock cooperative, formed through a merger of cooperatives on 1 January 2013. It brings together more than 7,000 members, of whom 2,800 are farmers and livestock breeders specialising in the production of dairy and beef cattle, cider apples and Asturian broad beans, although there are also other, smaller-scale production activities among the members. The remaining members are classified as collaborators or consumers, purchasing goods from the shops and diesel supplies.
Campoastur’s main activities include the production of conventional and organic animal feed, the supply of livestock and agricultural products, the provision of services to farms, the marketing of members’ produce, the development of agricultural shops for rural areas, retail outlets, and the sale of fuel.
