Report Released on Global Dairy Sustainability

Report Released on Global Dairy Sustainability


The worldwide dairy sector highlighted their collaborative results in reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during the reporting session of the Global Dairy Agenda for Action on Climate Change (GDAA) at the IDF World Dairy Summit in Parma, Italy.
Signed in 2009 by seven global dairy organizations, the GDAA brings together the dairy stakeholders who are committed to pooling available resources and cooperating towards a more sustainable future. The pledge spans the entire dairy sector supply chain – from farm to table.

The session, chaired by Daniela Battaglia, FAO Animal Production and Health Division, not only demonstrated the sector continues to fulfill its commitment through action and collaborative engagement, but that other global agriculture organizations support the dairy industry’s objective. Key achievements highlighted included the publication and implementation of a common methodology that assesses GHG emissions from the dairy sector.

“Our progress supports the conviction that dairy deserves to be a preferred source of nutrition. By addressing the efficiency of milk and dairy production, we address the increasing demand for food on global basis, and in particular protein demand. Within two years we have already seen widespread uptake from many countries around the world. Our sustainability website comprises 400 case studies from 50 countries and across the whole chain,” commented Richard Doyle, president of IDF, signatory organization.
