DSF Annual Review 2016-17

Increasingly consumers are asking to know more about where their food comes from. They want to know that it’s not just safe, affordable, healthy, nutritious and tasty. They now want to be reassured that the food they feed to their families and friends has been produced in a way that does not harm the environment nor diminish biodiversity. They want to know that it has been produced in a way that is respectful of the animals that it comes from and the farmers that produce it.
In short they want to know that their food has been produced in a sustainable and responsible way.
The Dairy Sustainability Framework (DSF) is how the dairy value chain can meet these needs at a global level. It serves to align, connect, and accelerate the sector’s efforts toward efficient food production and reducing environmental impacts.
