Funded by the Hannah Dairy Research Foundation and supported by the Journal of Dairy Research, Next Generation Dairying Conferences stimulate dairy-related research in Scotland and connect researchers globally to improve food security.
Next Generation Quality Dairying, the Fifth meeting in the series, was held on Monday and Tuesday, 20th/21st of November 2023
at the Moredun Research Institute, on the outskirts of Edinburgh. The Proceedings are now online.

- As dairying evolves, one constant element is the need for the highest possible quality in all that we do and all that we provide
- Definitions of “quality” will also have evolved, hence the need for a re-examination of what “quality dairying” is, and could become. Milk quality is of prime importance, but there are additional factors to consider
- Relationships between those who practice dairying, support it or benefit from it are complex. How can they be optimized?
- A significant barrier to high quality is “wastage”, whether it be food wastage, resource wastage, environmental wastage, wastage due to disease or wasted opportunities. How do we reduce wastage?
The COVID-19 pandemic meant that our 2020 Workshop was cancelled and the 2021 Workshop was held as a blended event with most delegates participating virtually. In 2018 and 2019 the Workshops were held at the Moredun Research Institute in Edinburgh, and in 2022 we were delighted to return to the Moredun for the Fourth of the Next Generation Dairying series of meetings.
