Isn’t the dairy industry a large contributor to India’s GDP and socio-economic development?

Dairy Milk

The fact is that the production of dairy milk causes long term deficits.

Large subsidies and bank loans have been offered to farmers to turn them away from growing food crops to rearing cattle in order to produce large quantities of milk. This is already having an adverse impact on our natural resources.  India has the largest number of cattle in the world and all these animals need to eat and drink and have space. We don’t have enough food to feed our billions, yet we produce food to feed cows in order to produce milk? Eating higher on the food chain implies a huge loss in productivity.

It’s scientifically proven that fruit trees yield the maximum food per acre of land and water consumption. Fruits require no plastic packaging and are totally ecological.

Our country has water shortages and all these animals require water. And cutting forests for grazing grounds is robbing India of both trees and biodiversity. It causes climate change. Should we rob our country of its future? You don’t need any milk since you are not an infant. Even so, plant-based milks cause less ecological damage. You have a choice. Try it.
