The ‘photons farmer’ project, which was launched two years ago by Courage, the Innovation Network and the Borgman-Roeterdink dairy farm, a FrieslandCampina member farm, aims to show people what an energy-neutral dairy farm could look like in the future. Borgman-Roeterdink has been one of FrieslandCampina’s teaching farms since the beginning of this year. FrieslandCampina has been working with the farm to monitor the latest developments surrounding energy production and storage. An expert meeting was held on 13 June 2013 to encourage an exchange of experiences with experts from both the dairy farming industry and the energy sector. Also present was Professor Jacqueline Cramer, who called for more cooperation on renewable energy, a view shared by everyone at the meeting.

FrieslandCampina Leeuwarden celebrates its centenary this year. In 1913, 33 dairy co-operations formed the Coöperatieve Condensfabriek Friesland [CCF], one of the forerunners of today’s FrieslandCampina. In the space of 100 years, the condensation plant has grown to become a dairy giant that processes 1 billion kilogrammes of milk (one-ninth of all the milk of the FrieslandCampina members) each year into milk powder and 1 billion cans of condensed milk, which are sent all over the world. To celebrate its centenary, FrieslandCampina is organising various centenary activities this year, including an international symposium on 20 June 2013, which will focus on 100 years of international entrepreneurship. Later this year, a reunion and staff party will be organised and an exhibition will be staged at FrieslandCampina Leeuwarden.
