Christoph Luepschen operates a pioneering dairy farm in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, incorporating a €4m biogas plant and genomic breeding. His farm, Schoepcherhof, milks 240 Holstein cows using four robots and produces 800 kWh of electricity and 900 kWh of thermal power, supplying local businesses.

In 2011, Luepschen founded Colonia Cows, advancing into genomic breeding. The farm spans 294 hectares, with 193 hectares of grassland. Luepschen plans to shift from DMK to a smaller dairy processor. He aims for independence from CAP support, emphasizing the need for sustainable food production in Europe.
