Paris Dairy Declaration on Sustainability signed at IDF

Paris Dairy Declaration on Sustainability signed at IDF
IDF subscribes to FAO’s definition of sustainability by which being sustainable means to meet the needs of present and future generations, while ensuring profitability, environmental health, and social and economic equity. Therefore, sustainable food and agriculture (SFA) should contribute to all four pillars of food security – availability, access, utilization and stability – and the dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social and economic). This involves all actors of the dairy value chain, from farm to fork, including all farmers and processors whether small, medium or large, cooperatives, dairy workers and leaders, scientists and experts, traders, dairy unions and anyone engaged in the process of producing dairy in the widest sense of the term, whom IDF represents all over the world. We understand that this implies global challenges but local solutions.
