Family Farming Knowledge Platform

Integrated Dairy Development Project in Albania

Through the “Integrated Dairy Development Project in Albania,” Heifer International has empowered 630 families in rural areas to increase their food and income by transforming subsistence farms into a sustainable resource while increasing cooperation between farmers. The donation of heifers, combined with effective technical assistance and training on community development, dairy food chain, milk quality, hygiene, and marketing and business plans provided an added value to individual farmers. The establishment of farmer associations and their active role in community life has provided direct assistance to families and increased access and visibility in the market, encouraging greater cooperation and partnerships with different stakeholders.
