Dairy in support of the Sustainable Development Goals

Dairy supports rural

livelihoods and generates

poverty-alleviating growth.

  Biogas from dairy is

  a renewable (clean)

form of energy.

Dairy generates year

 round, inclusive and

  productive employment.

 greenhouse

  gas emissions.

  Dairy

  provides vital

  nutrients and contributes

to household food security.

  Dairy

  products

  are a part of

healthy, affordable

  and sustainable

  diets.

  Smallholder

  dairy is a

 powerful vehicle

 for women

 empowerment in

poor countries.

The Asian Dairy Sector is strongly positioned to help reach the Sustainable Development Goals.

However, there are still challenges that we must overcome.
