ONE QUOTE SUMMARIZES IT ALL….
“ Milk is, in our house… it is a necessity but it’s also a luxury.”

STAKEHOLDERS PRE-WORK
Extensive stakeholder briefings on our findings to explore the appropriate policy options.

PREFERRED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
Nova Scotia Milk Card Electronic swipe card to record milk purchases that could be used at any grocery/retail outlet
Volumes tracked: lower priced milk after regular volume purchased 12

POLICY DIALOGUE FOLLOW-UP
Agreement on feasibility studyTeleconference for terms of
reference, new members, sub-groups, workplan.
Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food Program as funding source
Conflict: low-priced vs over quota milk; match funding for ACAAF demonstration

DAIRY SECTOR WITHDRAWS/PROJECT ENDS
“After reviewing the …Terms of Reference, it is now clear that the dairy industry is expected to financially subsidize the low-cost milk being described in the demonstration project and beyond. Several times we have made it known that the dairy industry is not prepared to provide this subsidy, when this issue is so clearly one of lacking government social assistance.” 14

DISCUSSION
Private sector (dairy farmers, processors, retailers) sells milk at a set cost; unwilling to subsidize; denies excess capacity
Public sector Depts of Agriculture, Health Prom & Prot, and Community Services lacked commitment (Whose program? Too small? Did not partner.)
Women and their advocates including researchers could not mediate even a pilot program. Orphan problem.

CONCLUSIONS
While imperfect, the initiative’s failure was not a result of our engagement process but more a result of our inability to negotiate the cultural differences between partners, to drive policy from the periphery, and to strike the right chord among an array of policy possibilities for the key actors.
