The United Kingdom's dairy sector is embracing lucerne (alfalfa) as climate change extends growing seasons and farmers seek to reduce reliance on imported soy protein. English counties like Hampshire, Wiltshire, and East Anglia are seeing significant expansion in lucerne acreage, driven by both dairy nutritionists and organic farming adoption.
