Characteristics of dairy industry in western Europe

Western Europe is the largest temperate marine climate zone in the world, because most of its terrain is plain, which is conducive to the transportation of water and gas; And its terrain is high in the middle and low in the north and south, which is conducive to the depth of the west wind that brings warm and humid airflow, so the temperate maritime climate is widely distributed.

Location factor:

Western Europe is dominated by plains, with deep soil layers and fertile soil, which is conducive to the growth of pasture and feed crops.

Feed factors:

Western Europe is dominated by temperate maritime climate, which is warm, cool, humid and foggy, which is conducive to the growth of juicy pastures.

Market factors:

Western Europe has a developed economy and a high level of urbanization, and dairy products account for a significant proportion in the food structure. Western Europe refers to the Atlantic region of Western Europe and its nearby islands. Western Europe is the earliest area of capitalist industrialization in the world and the birthplace of modern industry. There are highly developed industries and intensive agriculture with high per capita income. Foreign trade plays an important role in the national economy.

Western Europe is dominated by plains, and the climate is deeply influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. It is mild in winter and cool in summer. The precipitation is relatively uniform throughout the year, which is conducive to the growth of juicy pastures. Therefore, the dairy industry in western European countries is very developed. For example, the export volume of French cream and Dutch cheese is among the highest in the world. Here, the agricultural production technology is high, the output of agricultural products is high, and the quality is good. Especially, France is an important grain exporter in the world, and the export volume of corn and wheat occupies an important position in the world grain market. Western Europe has a developed economy and a high level of urbanization, and there is a great demand for dairy products, which have become an important part of western European food. Characteristic agriculture

Characteristic agriculture is the product of economic and technological development to a certain stage, including sightseeing agriculture, blue agriculture, white agriculture, family agriculture and so on.

Sightseeing Agriculture In the past eight years, sightseeing agriculture has blossomed everywhere in the eastern Pearl River Delta of Guangdong. For example, there is a farm in Tonghe and Heshan, Guangzhou, where tourists can spend the night in the open air and conduct simulated field battles. Guangzhou will build a "Water World" in jiufo town, covering an area of 100 mu, integrating scientific research, technological development and sightseeing. 1997 dozens of "three highs" (high yield, high quality and high efficiency) agricultural bases planned by the Guangdong provincial government are all linked to tourism development. Some experts pointed out that the development of sightseeing agriculture not only has considerable economic profits, but also has no risk of market fluctuation, which can better meet the requirements of environmental protection and make people return to nature.

Blue agriculture Blue agriculture is marine aquaculture agriculture. The ocean is a huge treasure house of resources. In the future ocean development, human beings can not only obtain all natural resources that can be obtained on land from the ocean, but also obtain resources that cannot be obtained on land. In recent years, Guangdong has put forward the specific goal of broadening the marine industry: relying on the coastal zone, focusing on offshore and offshore, gradually advancing from near to far, rationally distributing and comprehensively developing, actively developing coastal tourism while developing marine aquatic products, focusing on developing marine high-tech industries, and forming an efficient and coordinated marine industrial system as soon as possible.

White agriculture White agriculture is microbial agriculture. It belongs to industrial culture and does not pollute the environment. Its production process does not pollute the environment and requires a clean production environment, so it is called white agriculture. China has about 500 million tons of crop straw every year. If 20% of it is converted into feed by microbial fermentation, we can get 40 billion kilograms of feed grain, accounting for half of China's annual feed grain. A small microbial factory with an annual output of 6,543,800 tons of single-cell protein can produce soybean protein equivalent to 6,543,800 mu of cultivated land or animal protein produced by 300 million mu of grassland feed cattle and sheep.

Family agriculture Family agriculture can be divided into commodity agriculture and subsistence agriculture according to the purpose of production. Commodity agriculture is divided into professional farmers and part-time farmers according to income composition. The former means that all family income comes from agriculture. At present, in Japan, family agriculture is improving, changing small-scale family agriculture, taking the road of large farms and implementing large-scale operation.

Western Europe is vast and sparsely populated, and the scale of farms is mainly small and medium-sized, generally ranging from several hectares to dozens of hectares. Farms are mainly owned by farmers and run by farmers and their families. Planting forage and feed crops, outdoor grazing and daily milking are the three main tasks of dairy farmers. There is a shortage of agricultural labor in western Europe, and agricultural production is highly mechanized. Modern machinery is used from planting grass and feed crops to milking. In addition, the horticultural industry in Western Europe has a long history and is world-famous. For example, French grape cultivation, Dutch vegetables, flowers and fruits have rich traditional experience, and their products are also quite competitive in the world market.
