The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), representing the United States dairy manufacturing and marketing industry, has joined the Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance (FACA).
With over 80 organisations coming together to develop and advance shared climate priorities, FACA represents farmers, ranchers, forest owners, agribusinesses, manufacturers, the food and innovation sector, state governments, sportsmen and sportswomen, and environmental advocates.
“IDFA is pleased to join other dairy organisations, agribusiness groups, and environmental advocates who support innovative and voluntary solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase carbon sequestration and storage, build resilience to the changing climate, and drive sustainability across the supply chain,” said IDFA ESG Director Mike Aquino.
“According to surveys of IDFA dairy processor members, approximately 75 percent are actively investing in sustainability efforts and managing sustainability risks, demonstrating U.S. dairy’s continued leadership on climate and sustainability priorities facing our planet.
The IDFA members produce high-quality, nutritious dairy products, and are experts in supply chains and take strategic action to conserve energy, reuse water, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions with market-based and scientifically sound climate policies.
