Organic and low-input dairy farming systems are increasingly noted as delivering multifunctional benefits to the agricultural industry and society but technical and economic constraints prevent widespread adoption. The objective of SOLID is to support developments and innovations in organic and low input dairy systems to optimize competitiveness for a sustainable and profitable dairy industry in Europe, whilst at the same time (i) maximizing the potential of these systems to deliver environmental goods and enhance biodiversity and (ii) optimizing economic, agronomic and nutritional advantages for the development of innovative and sustainable organic and low input dairy systems and supply chains. SOLID will include stakeholders to enable a participatory approach for both research and dissemination, undertake innovative science to answer practical problems; develop methodologies and models both to identify opportunities and provide support systems for on-farm use and employ multidisciplinary approaches to integrate between scales (animal, farm, region, sector, Europe)
