HORIZON-CL6-2027-02-CLIMATE-01-two-stage – Water-efficient dairy farm expansion and future milk processing

We are a family-run dairy farm in northern Albania, currently producing approximately 550 litres of raw milk per day. Our main goal is to expand the herd, increase milk production and gradually modernise the farm.

In a later development stage, we plan to establish our own dairy-processing facility for bottled milk, yoghurt and cheese.

Under HORIZON-CL6-2027-02-CLIMATE-01-two-stage, we are interested in joining a consortium as a partner and potential pilot or demonstration site for practical water-resilience solutions that can support this development.

Our main interests are efficient water use on the farm, water monitoring, recovery and reuse, wastewater management and technologies that can reduce water consumption in future dairy processing.

We are not looking to lead a research project. We are looking for experienced coordinators, research organisations and technology providers that need a real dairy farm and future processing site for testing or demonstrating practical solutions.

Our contribution would be a real operating farm environment, practical input from a growing dairy business and the possibility to implement suitable solutions as the farm expands and develops its future milk-processing activities.
