What’s in the Glass Is at the Heart of All We Do
June is Dairy Month making it a perfect time to celebrate dairy farmers’ commitment to healthy people, healthy communities and a healthy planet! One of the greatest challenges of the next generation will be providing nutritious, affordable food to a global population expected to grow to nine billion by 2050 – while using fewer resources. Dairy is part of the solution. Not only are dairy products, like milk, cheese and yogurt, nutrient-rich, they are also being produced using fewer resources helping to foster healthy people, healthy communities and a healthy planet. We’re excited to share our June Dairy Month resources for you to use in your own recognition of the observance.
