'Mijn Melk', literally 'My Milk', is a small scale Dutch initiative through which four dairy farmers sell their milk through supermarket chains with the promise of full traceability. The packaging of a product is personalized to the farm which takes the seriously the notion of traceability as a process of giving identity to what is produced in bulk.
This leads us to an attractive webpage (which can be used without a mouse?!) that tells us many things about the product:
-The name and location of farm -The name of the farmer -The date and time the cow was milked -The time the milk was bottled -Batch number of the milk -What weather it was at the day of milking -Average fat, protein and lactose contents -How many cows the farms has -How often the cows have been milked the last 24 hours
With just 4 farms involved the approach is boutique but hopefully it can and will scale.
