As well as producing this limited-edition Greek yogurt product that people can purchase to support farmers across America, Chobani is encouraging people to take to social media and #thankafarmer. A weak dairy economy, weather disruptions and an aging farming population are challenging dairy farming and it is estimated that America has lost an average of five dairy farms per day for the past 10 years. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Charity Food Products:** Offering charity flavors/products to help support farmers and raise awareness for the farming industry. - **Social Media Activism:** Encouraging social media engagement to increase awareness and support for struggling farmers. - **Sustainable Farming Practices:** Promoting sound farming practices and developing climate plans to help farmers adapt to changing conditions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food industry should consider providing charity products to support farmers and raise awareness for the farming industry. - **Social Media:** Social media companies and influencers should take advantage of opportunities to promote and encourage social media activism in support of struggling farmers. - **Agriculture:** The agriculture industry should prioritize the promotion and development of sustainable farming practices to help farmers adapt to changing conditions and remain successful. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pasture Raised Organic Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasture-raised.md) - [Patriotic Summertime Yogurt Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chobani-yogurt-products.md) - [Seasonally Spiced Greek Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chobani-greek-yogurt-spiced-holiday-nog.md) - [Agricultural Education-Supporting Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scoops-of-thanks-day.md) - [Nutritious Shelf-Stable Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chobani-super-milk.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Greek Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chobani-creations.md) - [Cake-Infused Greek Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/confetti-birthday-cake-yogurt.md) - [Nutrition-Driven Yogurt Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odysea-greek-yogurt.md) - [Nutritious Shelf-Stable Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chobani.md)
