Irish dairy ‘feeding the world’ we are told. Sustainable, grass fed, green. Government funded. Meanwhile the industry is profiting from selling inferior milk product in West Africa. Insightful analysis from @desmog.com #SpeirGorm

A disturbing DeSmog article on major Irish dairy processors' export of Fat Filled Milk Powder (FFMP) to West Africa, helped by 🇮🇪 tax-payer monies. Local dairy farmers are being displaced by greenwashed, nutritionally-poor FFMP products. FFMP can incl. palm oil etc, it cannot be sold as "milk" in EU.

These articles really shine a light on what a pile of shite the "we must feed the world at the expense of water quality and emissions" arguments are. The world is being fed rubbish that's undermining local food production too

Fat Filled Milk Powder (FFMP) is one of the Irish dairy industry’s largest exports. Almost no one has heard of it because it’s exported mainly to African countries and marketed as milk for its health and sustainability - but it’s made of skimmed milk powder (a byproduct of butter) with palm oil or..
