Gerard Keenan’s award acceptance speech
“Our obsession is the efficient production of food. We have invested 5% of our sales – £20m – and worked with leading scientists and engineers around the world in the past decade in research, science, technology development and application. We have conducted research, in the lab and in the field in all continents. The outcomes have consistently been more milk or more beef from the same or less feed.”
