In 2005 we restructured our agricultural services so that they now consist of over thirty full-time
agronomists, vets and agricultural engineers to help the farmers of the Punjab with their milk production.
Yet there is another crucial stakeholder in every milk-producing farm: the farmer's wife.
We have created seven teams of three women each, all trained vets, sociologists and specialists in animal husbandry.
Their task is to meet farmers' wives and empower then through training in milk production, animal husbandry,
and hygiene, and to give them an understanding of Nestlé's milk collection system.
In effect, there's a quiet revolution going on in Pakistan's milk district.
