AGRICULTURAL NEWS - “We don’t want to reach a stage where consumers are given the message that from an environmental perspective there is ‘green’ or good protein, and ‘red’ or bad protein and that dairy is somehow a ‘red’ protein,” she said.
Speaking at the recent IDF world summit in Northern Ireland, Evers said it was also imperative to get the message out that dairy was an integral part of a sustainable diet.
IDF president Judith Bryans concurred, saying that dairy is committed to feeding the world with nutritious foods and protecting the environment.
She added that the “global dairy community” was one billion people strong, and fed six billion consumers.
“We have a strong story to tell in terms of nutrition and the progress we are making environmentally.
"We have a vision, we have our goals, and we will spare no effort in achieving them.”
