Benefits of the National Dairy Council to the dairy processing industry

The National Dairy Council and its affiliated units have had a vital role in presenting the nutritional qualities of US dairy products to a variety of audiences. Established in 1915, National Dairy Council has been the segment of the dairy industry that initiates and administers nutrition research, implements cutting-edge educational programs, and communicates about the nutritional merits of dairy products to educators, health professionals, consumers, and other important groups. The grassroots structure of National Dairy Council allows it to communicate these important messages at both the national and local levels.
