FAO report reveals that the environmental impact of the dairy sector accounts for 2.7%
This comprehensive report available at http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/41353/icode/ is the continuation of many IDF initiatives taken in the area of sustainability.

The publication of the FAO report, the Global Dairy Agenda for Action involving key signatories in a common effort to produce nutritious food for today and for future generations in a sustainable way, the sustainability web portal (www.dairysustainabilityinitiative.org) - a tool for sharing information and best practices on environmentally focused initiatives - are key examples that demonstrate IDF involvement and proactivity in this area.
