Environmental change is ‘biggest challenge’

THE biggest test for the world’s dairy industry is how it responds to the global environmental agenda.

International Dairy Federation (IDF) president Jim Begg told the summit that the environment had to be placed at the top of the international dairy industry’s agenda.

“It is the environment which, in my view, will be the major driver of the allocation of our future resources in dairying, in the nature of our products and the way we produce them,” he said.
