The Lower Saxony Dairy Association (Landesvereinigung der Milchwirtschaft Niedersachsen e.V. – LVN) is undertaking multiple strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of the region's dairy sector.
A significant focus is placed on education and personnel development. The association highlights the strong career prospects available in the "white professions" within the dairy industry, seeking to attract new talent and ensure a skilled workforce for the future.
