Let’s share the dairy story
By Caroline Emond, IDF Director General
Dear readers, the International Dairy Federation is pleased to present our new newsletter, IDF World, which aims to share the latest science on dairy, as well as the work of our dairy community of experts in a clear and simple manner. As the global leader in dairy expertise, IDF intends to share knowledge and expertise with its members and stakeholders.
Our mission is to help nourish the world with safe and sustainable dairy. In 2016, we signed jointly with the FAO the Dairy Declaration of Rotterdam, our commitment to be a significant contributor to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We work intensively to provide science-based expertise to influencers and key intergovernmental organizations. We aspire to be the partner of choice for our stakeholders and serve as the centre of excellence on dairy knowledge.
The role of dairy in a sustainable diet, the high quality of dairy protein, science-based standards and communicating on the substantial socio-economic benefits of the dairy sector are part of our priorities. We’re committed to ensuring we’re part of the global conversation on healthy diets and setting the record straight on dairy in the obesity debate. We aim to continuously improve the sustainability of our sector and to push forward key areas, such as antimicrobial resistance.
Let’s share the compelling and relevant story of dairy.
