Dairy titans US and Italy unite for global goals

The US and Italy, two dairy kings, are now on the same team. The U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), and Italy’s Dairy Association, Assolatte, have signed on the dotted line, promising to buddy up until 2025. 

They’re all set to proudly ensure milk and dairy products wear their true tags. Plus, they’re rallying for rules that applaud the dairy world’s green efforts globally. 

NMPF’s leader, Jim Mulhern, highlighted the duo's shared dairy love as the collab’s fuel. On the flip side, USDEC’s Krysta Harden chatted about their mutual dairy dreams and ambitions. She’s all for science-driven rules that promote green thumbprints in the dairy world. 

And Assolatte’s head honcho, Paolo Zanetti? He’s buzzing about this power pact, hopeful to iron out any dairy production and sales kinks. 

This new partnership vibes with the dairy deals USDEC and NMPF inked with Argentina and Chile last year.

Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

Video: Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

When was the last time you read the label on your honey?

We spent a day at Molenkamp Honey Farms with Michael Molenkamp, who has been keeping bees for 17 seasons and runs three to four thousand hives. In mid-September, he was finishing treatments and getting his bees ready for winter, and he walked us through how Alberta honey gets made.

Alberta has just 150 commercial beekeepers running 300,000 colonies, and together they produce 40% of Canada’s honey. Long summer days and golden canola fields give Alberta honey a light flavour that’s hard to match anywhere else.

Molenkamp calls Alberta beekeepers some of the most resilient farmers he knows. There’s plenty of Alberta honey to go around, but a lot on our shelves isn’t from here, so his ask is simple. Give the label a second look and choose honey made by Alberta beekeepers, or buy straight from a beekeeper near you.
