What it reported doing in 2024

Youth wellness: promoting dairy to youth and adult stakeholders in schools, focusing on milk, cheese and yogurt at every opportunity. Targeting youth remains a priority to build and maintain trust in dairy. Youth have been historically high consumers of milk and are the future of our industry. Research indicates youth are concerned about dairy as "good for me and good for the planet". In keeping with our 2020 - 2023 objective to utilize undeniably dairy (ud) - both current and evolving - as the integrated marketing theme, we will incorporate its sustainable nutrition resources into our youth wellness strategies, programs and executions. We will focus on the primary ages of 7-14 with the sweet spot between ages 10-14 with an "in-school focus". Our efforts will be to create a model for helping children consume more dairy products in both the long-term and the short-term. This will be accomplished through our fuel up to play 60 (futp 60) and dairy everywhere programs in the dairy alliance region.dairy transformation this area is responsible for brokering dairy industry conversations that support and lead to increased investment in dairy processing, new milk and dairy product development and future dairy expertise/talent in the southeast.
