5. Fail to meet standards
100%
Formal sector is
not better
Raw milk Pasteurised
Hazards are not
risks
• Generates million of jobs
Every study finds • Raw milk earns more for the farmer
and costs less for the household
benefits • Consumers prefer taste and
provenance of local products

6. Nutrition, safety and access are linked
But typically assessed and managed
separately
This can lead sub-optimal solutions and
missed opportunities
