The programme covers farmers in Tesco’s dairy, beef, lamb and pig sustainable farming groups.
From September, 260 dairy farmers in the Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group (TSDG), supplying liquid milk through Müller UK, can earn up to an extra 2.5p per litre for meeting targets on emissions, animal health, feed efficiency and genetics.
Tesco Sustainable Pig Group (TSPG): Payments will be linked to improvements in animal welfare, biodiversity, soil health and emissions reduction.
Tesco Sustainable Beef Group (TSBG): Incentive payments are already in place.
Prasad added that the scheme aims to secure both commercial resilience and environmental benefits, ensuring farmers remain sustainable in the long term.
