COMPETITION: Discover Dairy
I’m pretty gobsmacked to discover that almost a third of primary school children think that cheese comes from plants, and over one in five has never visited a farm. It’s pretty terrifying to hear how disconnected our children have become from their food, it’s production and rural environments. This research was done by the British Nutrition Foundation. I think it really demonstrates that we all need to take more responsibility in educating the next generation about food origins and also about cooking and eating in a way that is healthy for both themselves and for the environment.
DairyCo has created thisisdairyfarming.com, to help people understand a bit more about cows and where dairy products come from. It is presented by Adam Henson, who actually has a farming background himself. They’ve created a number of accessible films about cows, which they have also put on a youtube moovie channel. For people wanting to interact with DairyCo directly, you can also get hold of them via twitter using the @thisisdairy account or #Discoverdairy hashtag.
And to help spread this message far and wide and to help you to access these resources to teach your children more about food production and the dairy industry, DairyCo have given the opportunity for two of my readers to win £15 worth of shopping vouchers. Just answer me a simple question about the above video using the Rafflecopter widget. If you have any problems with it loading, do refresh the page and try again.

what a lovely video! I love seeing them all queuing up to be milked – they look as if they're thinking "right, just get this done and then we can get back to eating"

The cows view (frances hopkins)
I liked seeing the cows chewing the lush green grass. I'm sure that's why British dairy products taste so good.
The sunrise moment (29 seconds in) was a magical moment in the video. Any sunrise is a captivating moment, so witnessing it through a cow's eyes could be a novel experience 🙂
I like the sped up bit where the cows are all walking down the path in the field.
@rachiegr
I love anything to do with cows. The 3 at the end are so cute!
The cows their so cute x
I enjoyed seeing the cows going out into the meadow to graze on the green grass.
A wonderful sight.
the cute cows!
The cows are so cute!
How tranquil, love the perspective.
I love that it is from a cow's perspective, especially one called Martha but as twee as the video is, which also shows that cows have best friends, it doesn't show the real pain and suffering that a lot of dairy cows go through. Their calves are taken from them within seconds of birth so that the milk can be fed to humans. 🙁
The cute cows
The whole thing!
Cows, there awesome and underrated 🙂
The music
Just all the cows really! 🙂
My favourite part was the nice music and the cute cow that stood out!
What a beautiful little film and such an original idea that needs repeating with all sorts of animals. I don't think I can pick any one part of the film, the music, captions and simple but contented daily routine taking place in beautiful surroundings was a delight.
The cow shakings its head – I wonder what she is saying
I loved the part with the cow –
The lovely cows!I just adore cows 🙂
i love when they all trot off down the path to the feild
I love the cows that look as though they know the camera is there – one seems to shake his head at the camera and another nose right forward towards it – so cute
Cows…what's not to love?!

The cows in general!
I love the 3 cows together at the end, they're so cute together
I loved the part with the cow – love the countryside and know how it feels!
My favourite part was the jolly music and the cute brown cow that stood out!
My favourite part of the video was seeing the world from the point of view of a cow wandering around the countryside. That's something I didn't think I would be doing today. 🙂
